The children have loved predicting the story, recalling key events and getting creative with shape pictures and seaside‑themed activities. We’ve also been building early maths skills, practising balance in P.E., strengthening fine motor skills and working on turn‑taking and group routines. We’ve especially enjoyed spending time in our Outdoor Area this week - lots of smiles, exploring, and learning together! ### The Gingerbread man [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260420_083256401_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260420_083256401_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260421_092613807_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260421_092613807_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260421_092757093_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260421_092757093_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260424_085603498_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260424_085603498_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260424_085703984_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260424_085703984_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260424_090115830_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260424_090115830_iOS.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260424_090202788_iOS.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-gingerbread-man/20260424_090202788_iOS.jpg) [ Reception- Meerkat Mail 2026](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2026-04-23-16-47-reception-meerkat-mail-2026) [The Very Busy Spider ](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2026-04-24-09-23-the-very-busy-spider) ![Delph Side Community Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(10).png) #### Delph Side Community Primary School Eskdale Tanhouse Skelmersdale Lancashire WN8 6ED 01695 721881 #### Useful Links - [Ofsted Report](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-report) - [Term Dates](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/contact) #### Social Media - [Facebook](http://facebook.com/Delph-Side-Community-Primary-School-584597861558880/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/delphside/) © Copyright 2018–2026 Delph Side Community Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
