Reception have been enjoying the outdoors learning environment this week. We have enjoyed reading the story of man on the moon and practicing counting in odd and even numbers. We made ourselves into astronauts and made play dough aliens. Have a lovely weekend, see you Monday. The Reception team.
This week we are reading the story of Man on the Moon. We have made rockets out of kitchen roll tubes, painted them and added windows and fire. We have also learnt about Tim Peake and the important job he does. In PE we practiced throwing and catching as well as practicing moving in different ways. In Maths we are learning to count beyond 20 and recognise even and odd numbers. At the beginning of the week we were lucky enough to enjoy a bit of sunshine and used part of the field for our free flow activities, hopefully we get some more sunshine back soon.
Reception have been enjoying the outside learning environment in the fantastic weather today. As the weather is getting warmer please ensure sun lotion is applied in the morning before school and they bring in a hat and water bottle every day. Have a lovely weekend. Many thanks. The reception team.
This week we are reading the story ‘Ramadan moon’. We are learning all about Ramadan and how Muslims celebrate Eid. We had lots of fun in PE practicing our sports day activities. In maths this week we are looking at doubling numbers.
Reception have had some rocket fun today, making rockets with shapes and paint, creating rocket names and describing their rocket. We hope you have a lovely long weekend, we will see you next Tuesday. The Reception team.
We hope you all had a lovely break. We have had a fantastic start to the new term. This term our theme is ‘Space’. The children have enjoyed exploring our space station role play area – lots of aspiring astronauts for the future. This week we are reading the story ‘Whatever next!’. Reception have enjoyed creating moons with paint and flour and working on our subitising skills in maths.
Last week while we were on our holidays our butterflies emerged and today we set them butterflies free. Unfortunately only 4 came out of their cocoons. One butterfly wasn’t ready to leave us and enjoyed landing on our hands and clothes but it finally flew off.
We have had lots of fun this week, learning all about Spring and Easter. We went on a spring walk and found lots of daffodils, daisies, buttercups, and blossom trees. We made lots of spring and Easter crafts, we made chicks, sheep, bunny headbands and painted daffodils and blossom trees. We practised lots of writing and wrote about what we see in spring. We will see you all after the Easter break on 25th April. Have a lovely break. Thank you for all your support this term. The reception team.
This week we have been learning all about spring and Easter. We started off the week with a spring walk where we saw daffodils, buttercups, daisies, dandelions and blossom. We have been watching carefully as our caterpillars are in their chrysalises developing into the beautiful butterflies but they are not ready yet!!! We have been very busy preparing our classrooms for our end of term open afternoon and have a special performance for you to watch.
Ladybirds have had a good week reading the story of Handa’s Surprise. We have practised caption writing and written down which animals took the fruits from Handa’s basket. We painted animals and the different fruits. This week we learnt the trigraph sounds ‘igh’ for light, high, bright and ‘air’ for chair, pair, funfair. In PE we continued practicing our football skills and practiced a new game which we will be working as a team in for sports day. Our caterpillars are getting much bigger and we are hoping next week they turn into cocoons and then butterflies, fingers crossed!
Have a wonderful weekend, will we have rain, snow or sun? Who knows!!
