We were so lucky again to have another parent come into school to talk about the amazing work they have done, and now do for their job.
We had a visit from someone who used to work in the army. The children were very excited to hear about how their job was to fix helicopters and ensure they were ready for work. We looked at a model of the helicopters used and this prompted lots of questions about how the helicopters got into the sky and how they came down again.
We also go the opportunity to wear a 'beret' and look at some medals. We looked at some photos of the helicopters when they were out working in Afghanistan.
After leaving the army our visitor then got a job in the energy industry and we have had a look at a fabulous book about all the work they do and the children were particularly interested in looking at photos of explosions and tests carried out to prevent these explosions happening.

We have had an incredibly exciting afternoon in Reception.
We are so fortunate that many of our wonderful parents have super exciting jobs and willing to come and share it with the children.
Today we were visited by a first response paramedic! He brought the car and all the ‘kit’ that goes with it to help when an emergency arises. A truly inspirational job for the children who asked many different questions.
The children got to try the helmets on (which are incredibly heavy!) use the heart rate monitor and look at all that goes into a paramedics bag.
The most exciting part was most definitely hearing the sirens on the car!

Making Marks to Music!
We used music as a stimulus to make marks.
This inspired us to make our pencils move.
We noticed a link between music, movement and marks.
We made movements in time with the music.

This morning we had a special visit from our local PCSO.
She spoke to us about how to keep safe on Halloween and bonfire night.
We talked about the clothes we need to wear and also used breadsticks to learn how to hold sparklers correctly

This afternoon we went exploring!!
We found lots of wonderful Autumn resources to use;
-Beautiful leaves
-Conkers both in and out of the shell
-Acorns and Acorn cups
The children loved looking around the school grounds and then used the resources to make their own portrait collages. They were so immersed and really worked well together to share the different things they had found.
We even found a little hedgehog house and we used our quiet voices just in case there were any visitors!
