Reception Class - Junior Jam!

We had a very exciting morning in Reception today as we had three new teachers join us from Junior Jam! Miss McDonald is our new music teacher. The children practiced playing the glockenspiel, listening to the high and low pitches that the instrument made. Mr Miakukila will be teaching us French this year. The class practiced how to say 'hello' and 'goodbye' today! And finally Mr B is our p.e teacher. Today we worked on call and response in Mr B's bean game! The children especially liked being 'jelly beans' jiggling across the playground. Junior Jam will hold these lessons every Tuesday morning, we have lots of fun and lots of learning ahead!
