Chaddesden Park Primary

Today in music we created our own instruments using different materials and techniques ready to form our band!

Yesterday, the children were very surprised to discover a large nest containing four huge eggs. They were fascinated and spent a long time looking closely at them. Eventually, one brave child carefully picked up an egg. Curiosity got the better of them, and when they opened the eggs, they were amazed to find tiny baby dinosaurs inside!
The children began asking lots of questions. Where had they come from? How had they ended up in Receptions outdoor area?
A little while later, a letter arrived from the dinosaurs' mummies. They explained that the baby dinosaurs might be in danger and asked the children to help look after them and keep them safe. The children eagerly accepted the responsibility and have become wonderful dinosaur foster parents, showing great care and kindness towards their new friends.
This morning, we received an exciting message from our caretaker. He told us that he had spotted a dinosaur on the CCTV cameras and even sent us a video clip as evidence! We were all amazed to see it.
Now we are left wondering... what danger are the baby dinosaurs in? Could the dinosaur on the CCTV be looking for them? Are there other dinosaurs nearby?

Tonight we held a K-pop Disco and Karaoke. Everyone had a good time even if we did have a quick nip outside due to the Smoke Machine setting the fire alarm off!

Reception children have been retelling What the Sea Saw using story maps and memory at Chaddesden Park Primary. They're recalling key events in order, using fantastic vocabulary, and confidently sharing the story with friends

A brilliant example of early storytelling in action. Well done! 👏📖
