Welcome back to the last term of Reception.
Hope you have all had a good week.

I thought you might like to see some photos -  highlights from  last term...


We watched the little caterpillars change into Pupas




After about 2 weeks, the pupas cracked open and  and out crawled 4 beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. 

It was the first time I had actually seen this happen, how fantastic! - previous years, they emerged when we were not at school to witness it. 


We let them go in Sylvia's Garden next to Newbold Church Centre. 

The Butterflies left a Thank you letter for every child. We found them hidden in the bushes.






After the butterflies had flown away, all the children offered a prayer-  thanking God for the butterflies and asking  him to look after them.
It was a really lovely project. What an amazing and mysterious world we live in.




So this last term, I will be preparing the children for transition to Year 1 with particular  focus on writing.

As always, please come and see me if you have anything you would like to talk about.

God Bless

Hi Everyone

Here are our new classroom 'pets' that have already been named by one of the girls!





Five beautiful, black , munching caterpillars -  Cyan,  Stacey,  Misis Diy,  Mareea and Sofee.

They are growing at a rapid rate too.

One of them looks like they are starting the next stage of metamorphis and is hanging upside down in the cup,
Watch this space - so exciting!
We are going to look at the life cycle today in class.

Come and have a look , they are quite amazing,

God bless from
Mrs.Dye
