Reception

Today we have really enjoyed world book day. We had miss Taylor from year 3 read a story to us. This afternoon some year 6’s came to read to us.

The children have been set a challenge to make a house for the pigs to live in using the resources in early years.

Reception children in their music lesson have been practicing playing their instruments quietly

This week we are looking at shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) naming them and describing them. We have also introduced a hexagon.

Reception enjoy their dough disco sessions. It helps strengthen the muscles in our fingers. You can try it at home. All you need is a pot of play dough and you tube (search dough disco). Even some of nursery came and joined us!

Today we have been practising our blowing like the big bad wolf. We have been blowing paint. Some of us had more puff than others!

Some reception children enjoying their first arts and craft after school club

Reception have really enjoyed PE this half term with OACT. We have been practising moving around the hall safely and getting into a space without bumping into anyone. We have also been getting dressed and undressed without too much adult support, well done everyone!

Reception children have been out and about in the environment looking for shapes. We found some classroom objects that are the same shapes we have been learning about.

For world book day we dressed up as characters from Eric Carle stories. We have been sharing lots of Eric Carle stories like, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Busy Spider, Mister Seahorse and The Bad Tempered Ladybird. We also painted seahorses in the style of Eric Carle.
