We loved our visit to the @sciencemuseum this week! 🚀💫🪐🌏

We had a fantastic time at @BockettsFarm today! We learnt all about the animals on the farm, fed the sheep, petted some smaller animals and of course there was some time for playing! Thanks to all the @fircroftSW17 community who supported us with raising money for our coach!

As part of our Food Glorious Food topic, we made pitta pizzas today! We practised our cutting, chopping and grating skills before enjoying our delicious pizzas…yum! @fircroftSW17

Reception loved being resourceful and working together to build all kinds of dens this week as part of #OutdoorClassroomDay @fircroftSW17

Reception enjoyed learning about Shrove Tuesday today…and loved preparing and eating their own pancakes! Yum! #PancakeDay @fircroftSW17

We loved finishing our ‘We are Explorers’ topic with a trip to the @sciencemuseum. Earlier this week, we enjoyed visiting @Y5_Fircroft to find out what they had also been learning about space! @fircroftSW17

As part of our ‘We are Explorers!’ topic, reception have been learning all about space. This week, they have been creating their own aliens and trying to describe them. They have been learning about the solar system, stars and constellations #space @fircroftSW17

@R_Fircroft loved seeing @fircroftSW17 in the snow yesterday! Lots of snowmen were built and snowballs thrown! #snow #winter #fun

Reception loved their trip to @HolyTrinitySW17 to learn all about the #nativity. They retold the story using actions and drew pictures to represent all of the important people (and animals!) in the #ChristmasStory @fircroftSW17

This week in Reception,we read the book Funnybones & enjoyed a Halloween theme in our continuous provision!We developed our fine motor skills by tapping tees into pumpkins, made observational drawings of different squashes & made potions with slime, frogs and worms!@fircroftSW17

What a busy start to the term! The children have had a great start to school by enjoying and exploring the provision indoors and outdoors! @fircroftSW17

We even had 80s superstars Olivia Newton-John @olivianj and, the original Top Gun himself, Maverick @TomCruise join us for the day. ❤️80s #platinumjubilee2022

@fircroftSW17 we have been celebrating the #PlatinumJubilee by exploring the 7 decades of our Queen’s reign. Reception dug out their neon, leg warmers and crimpers to take us right back to the 1980s and did us very proud with their fabulous outfits…

Reception’s maths lesson went outside on Outdoor Classroom Day. Children showed their fabulous learning as they got themselves into groups of 3, chose 3 of the same item each, then worked together to make a 3 part pattern. #outdoorclassroomday #mathsmatters

To mark the end of #BookWeek 📚, the fantastic poet King Kimba paid a visit to @fircroftSW17 . Reception and @N_Fircroft were lucky enough to have a special assembly with him where he performed some of his poems. ‘Bubble Guts’ was a particular favourite! 💨😳😆

During @worldmathsday last week, we went on a Treasure Hunt and solved mathematical problems to find a secret code. Once the code was cracked, we discovered a note from the maths pixie who had filled up our new maths shed with lots of exciting resources! @fircroftSW17

The Grand Finale of #BritishScienceWeek was a special session in our beautiful Garden Hub with Beata, our resident expert gardener. We were busy bees filling pots, planting seeds, and writing labels. We can’t wait to see the fruits (and vegetables!) of our labour. @fircroftSW17

The children loved celebrating #RedNoseDay today. They all came wearing something red and shared their best jokes with us. One particular favourite was - “Why shouldn’t you give Elsa a balloon? - Because she will just ‘Let it go’”😂 @fircroftSW17

Science Week started with a bang on Monday when we got busy making seed bombs. Tear newspaper, soak, blend, add your seeds, strain through a tea towel, roll into little balls, dry in an ice cube tray. Seed bombs ready to scatter in our garden one day soon. #BSW2022 @fircroftSW17

To celebrate British Science Week #BSW22 one of our lovely parents came in to teach Reception all about the solar system. We learnt how craters on the moon are formed by dropping icy space rocks into flour and found out that Uranus smells like rotten eggs 😝@fircroftSW17
