    Space

    Space

    On Tuesday 1st November 2022, Reception children became astronauts and zoomed into Space!  we explored the moon, our solar system and the biggest star – the sun!  This experience inside an inflatable planetarium sparked so many questions and conversations about space which continued back in our classroom.  We created our own solar systems, explored the surface of the moon by creating craters and became scientists to investigate bubbling planets.

    From Little Acorns Mighty Oaks Grow

    Our school motto is ‘From Little Acorns Mighty Oaks Grow.’  Reception went on an adventure to find the mighty oak tree.  We found it at the front of our school!  We explored the texture of the tree trunk and collected a little acorn each to take back to our classroom.

    World Book Day Potatoes

    Here at the Ryde School, we celebrated World Book day on the 22nd March with children bringing in potato book characters from their favourite stories. The children created an array of characters from well-known stories, and these were displayed for everyone in school to see.

    We are constantly encouraging a love of books in school. Did you know that reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success? We hope that the children can use their book vouchers to buy a book online and we look forward to them sharing their choices with us.

    Maps and Trails in Forest School

    During the Forest school session for Reception Class we went on a winter woodland walk and used the large map of the Dell which had been created by the Year 2 class last year as part of the platinum award for the Woodland Trust. It had photos of some of their favourite places and showed where they were on the map.
    We found the black wall and the big tree stump in the middle of The Dell, the doughnut log, the yew tree and also found another tree which makes a good den.

    In addition we noticed different things during our winter walk in The Dell – a nest high in the trees; and had a go to balance on the fallen tree branch.
