Reception children’s sponsored cycle and outdoor area success! By Jack
The children of reception did a sponsored cycle on Tuesday the 18th of May 2010. So far they have raised a whopping £156 pounds! This is a great achievement to them as it would be to anyone so they were obviously excited! Even more good news is that they are having a brand new outdoor area built! This was be started on Sunday the 23rd of May 2010 by painting the shed and panting some wooden boards acting like a street and like one in Riccall. They have also built a sensory garden and gravel pit!
 
Football tournament success!
They played against Longmans Hill, Brayton Juniors and North Dufeild and won all of them! Obviously they got a trophy; it was glass with a football badge on it and a small plaque on the bottom saying ‘football winners 2010’. This is such a great achievement that they are in the Selby times! They are extremely proud of this as anyone would be and hope to win again. The team consisted of Joe, Denton, Yves Kombie, Daniel and Alistair.

What’s going on?

 

This half term our class are leaning about spring time. We do not sit on the carpet and learn about things like the older ones. No. We learn through play. For our role play area we have a police station. The station is called ‘Riccall Station. ‘We have not learnt much about spring but on our next update we will have a lot more to update you with.   

 

 

Mrs Newsome and Mr Darlison 


This half team we are learning about around the world in 80 days which is a book it is all about a man called Phileas Fog and a man called Passpartout and they make a bet with the managers at the bank of England. This is so they can win the money to go around the world and therefore have to be back in 80 days. They go on boats and they walk and travel on a hot air balloon. We are half way through it and when we have read it we will tell you more about it.
