The sun shone again for our annual Children's House Sport's Day.
The children came to school in their Sport's Day t-shirts and were ready for action.
Staff had worked hard with children supporting their physical skills all week (and for the past year).
​
Children enjoyed taking part in lots of races and cheering on their friends: from the egg and spoon to targets with beanbags, to long jump, to pass the ball, to hopping and jumping races. 
We know in the world today we need to stick together and unite as a TEAM.

Our Children's House Team is the best and we cheered for EVERYONE TOGETHER!
PS. If you are watching the football - COME ON ENGLAND!

Summer term is always an interesting one: as so many of our friends are ready to go to primary school, we find they are beginning to use all the knowledge and skills they have learned over the year.

Staff always find ways to encourage children and support them to make meaningful marks.
Having reflected on our 100th birthday party at the weekend and our chicks that visited, children have been writing cards.
Children were supported to share their talk, their ideas and thoughts. 
We made thank you cards for Tesco, Old Palace Primary School and our mystery bear.
Some children used their knowledge of phonics to write words. Others drew pictures and some made other marks. 

See if you can find meaningful ways for children to make marks at home: shopping lists, menus, family members and celebration banners!
