St. James Robins (Reception)

Robins have been trying to work out who has been eating the strawberries for a long time! This morning we caught the strawberry thief in the act! Mr Squirrel was enjoying a fruity breakfast!

Canaries visited Robins to share their work about life cycles. We were also treated to a poetry performance by the children in Robins! @StJamesRobins1

Robins have enjoyed harvesting radishes from the vegetable patch! We will be tasting them during snack this week!

Robins enjoyed the challenge of sculpture day and creating a garden with 3D flowers from Junk modelling. Huge thank you to Mrs Ali who took on the challenge of getting the flowers to stand!

Robins had a fabulous day at Mead Farm! We stroked bunnies, groomed ponies, went on a tractor ride, fed some hungry goats and sheep and had fun on the jumping pillows and in the sandpit! Huge thank you to our parent helpers!

Robins vegetable patch is coming along and today we harvested some strawberries and ate them. They were delicious!

Robins were sad to say goodbye to our butterflies but, it was magical to watch them fly off on their journey and let the lifecycle start again!

Robins have become poets. To end our caterpillar topic we have been exploring poetry, banking vocabulary and using this to create our own class caterpillar poem. We enjoyed performing our poem to our class adults!

Robins had a magical Monday as we welcomed 3 butterflies throughout the day!

Robins enjoyed making some healthy smoothies yesterday, we wrote our own recipes, learnt to chop fruit safely and had lots of fun using the blender! We then evaluated how we could make them better for next time!

Robins enjoyed opening a sports shop in the outside area. They made price labels, sold items and then used the items to create their own games, they created a score board and thought of different ways to challenge themselves by making their games harder.

Robins have been tasting fruits from the hungry caterpillar. We explored our senses and came up with lots of vocabulary to describe the fruit. We then created a tally chart and voted for our favourite one.

Take a look at this wonderful home learning video from one of our Robins!

Robins returned from the Bank Holiday to find our Vegetable patch is growing well and our Caterpillars have doubled in size! We look forward to harvesting and tasting some our vegetables soon!

Robins are very excited by our new caterpillar friends! We are looking forward to watching the lifecycle of a butterfly before our very eyes!

Robins are ready for the coronation celebrations this week!

Robins had a wonderful time of their spring walk this morning! We enjoyed watching the Dandelions blow in the wind. Thank you to our wonderful parent helpers!

A huge thank you to one of our lovely Robins parents for these delicious cakes for all the staff at St James as an Easter treat. So thoughtful and kind!

Robins enjoyed a football match in the mud. We then created some mud pies for the players at half time.

Robins have enjoyed learning about the meaning of Easter. Today we made an Easter garden to represent the meaning of Easter. The children enjoyed collecting items for the garden and working as a team to create the garden.
