During theme week, Reception ventured out on Monday morning for a leisurely stroll. We were surprised to find that someone had set up camp in Creature Corner. We were also amazed at the size of this person's belongings, they were enormous - who could it be?

On the way back, some eagle eyed children spotted a little house in the bushes. Someone else had built a house over the weekend but this time their belongings seemed to be really tiny.

We spent the rest of the week sharing ideas of who it could be and looking out for other clues that may help us figure out who is living in the school.

The children recorded their ideas by drawing and writing. They even created road signs to warn people about the tiny house so that it didn't get crushed.

Willow and Oak have settled really well into routines at Roebuck.

Our first week was all about learning routines, investigating the classroom both inside and out and making new friends. The following week we read the Enormous Crododile and children enjoyed the crocodile themed activities created for them.

Next, we had great fun in listening to a story about Have-a-go hare and learning about growth mindset. We created bubbles both inside and outside the classroom to release our creative ideas.

Finally in September, we have heard a rumbling as the dinosaurs approached while reading the story, How to grow a dinosaur. Children have created their own electronic dinosaur book, looked at different shapes to design a dinosaur and found sounds on bones which they have tried to find in books.

What a busy month...we can't wait to see what the next few weeks will bring!

We have some amazing parents at Roebuck which really shined through when two dads were kind enough to help Willow and Oak go on a real adventure on Thursday.

We were lucky enough to have 2 Arriva buses waiting for us at Roebuck shops to take us straight to Frankie and Benny’s. Children got to experience the purchase of bus tickets on public transport, some of which had never experienced before. We were also greeted by Arriva’s mascot and the children enjoyed giving him a hug or high five.

At Frankie and Benny’s, children were able to design their own pizza with a variety of ingredients and take part in watching some of their favourite children’s cocktails being made and then having a taste, deciding which one was the best.

Once the children had eaten their pizza, we had a coach waiting for us outside to finish our adventure to take us back to school.

Thanks again to those that help organise the trip and to all the parents that came with us to support the children.

 

 

 

The children came back with enthusiasm and eagerness to learn. The first week saw us take part in the Race for Life where we asked the children to run around the school field twice to raise money for cancer research. All the children did this even
