Summer 2

'People Who Help Me'

‘People who help us’ is Reception’s theme for Summer 2, where we will be learning about who helps us within the school community, as well as the wider local community. To spark our new theme, all children will be encouraged to come dressed as somebody who helps them, or a job that they aspire to have when they grow up. The children have already had a visit from a nurse who brought in lots of exciting equipment for the children to extend their learning. The children listened very carefully to find out more of the role od a nurse and asked some fantastic questions. We will be diving deeper into a variety of jobs, to discuss how important these roles are within our community.  

The children will also be taking part in our annual ‘Enterprise fair’, where they will be designing their own products to sell at the end of the school year. Alan Sugar, eat your heart out!
