We had great fun at our Christmas party. We looked very festive in our party clothes and loved dancing to the Christmas music. We enjoyed playing party games and eating some yummy party food. We even had a special visit from Santa! Merry Christmas everyone.
Reception class loved dressing up in the nativity costumes and telling the story of when baby Jesus was born to the whole school and our families. They looked fantastic and sang beautifully. Well done Reception. You are all superstars.
Reception class talked about things that happen in the environment when the seasons change. We talked about our favourite seasons. Some children liked the Winter so they can play in the snow whereas others liked the Springtime with the blossom on the trees and lots of baby animals being born. We printed leaves or snow on a tree to show which was our favourite season.
We loved retelling the story of ‘Farmer Duck’ in the Butterfly Garden. We felt sorry for the poor duck who had to do all the work and we were pleased when the animals chased the lazy farmer away.
Reception have enjoyed counting sets of objects from our 'Counting Collections' boxes. We estimated how many were in the box, counted the amount then drew the corresponding number of objects on our wipeboards.
Reception love learning new phonic sounds and enjoy writing the corresponding letters on their wipeboards. They had fun going on a letter hunt in the Butterfly Garden.
In Reception, we have been learning each others names and thinking about what we all look like. We have painted pictures of ourselves, drawn outlines of our bodies with chalks and made ourselves with the playdough.
We have had a great few days in Reception class, making new friends and exploring all of the toys.
Reception class heard the story of Guy Fawkes and why we celebrate Bonfire Night. We talked about fireworks we'd seen and made our own firework pictures.
Reception children loved it when their parents came in and read stories to them at the Reading Cafe session. We went into the KS2 library and listened to Mrs Marley's favourite story, 'The Gruffalo', before enjoying yummy juice and biscuits. Thanks to all the parents who could make it.
Reception Class have been learning the names of parts of a skeleton such as skull, ribs, hips and backbone. We read these words and then found them on ‘Sid the Skeleton’. We couldn’t believe how hard his bones felt.
