The start of our journey in Reception...

Our first few weeks in Reception have been wonderful getting to know our teachers, classmates and the school. We have enjoyed reading The Colour Monster and identifying our emotions, and most importantly what to do with those feelings. Every day we do a 'check in' where we place our photo on a colour monster linked to how we feel and talk about the reason why. We have been fantastic at learning the school routine; coming into class and hanging our coats up, bookbags in drawers, completing self-registration and writing our name as morning work. We have made new friends, explored the environment and settled into our new class brilliantly.

Science Open Morning 

We invited parents in to experience our hands on science, which was based on our senses as part of our topic 'Marevellous Me'. We had lots of fun exploring and showing our parents how we learn, by asking questions and using real life objects to discover new things.

Autumn

We have been learning about the change of seasons and noticing it in the enviornment around us. We took treasure bags home to collect natural objects that represented Autumn and brought them back into school to show our friends. We commented on the leaves changing colour, the conkers falling out of their prickly shells and how the weather was changing. 

Halloween

We have been celebrating Halloween with lots of fun activities! The children loved making their own Halloween-themed necklaces and had a fantastic time dressing up in spooky costumes, enjoying the thrill of scaring their friends and grow-ups!

Bonfire night  

We have been learning about Bonfire Night and the exciting traditions that come with it. The children enjoyed making their own bonfire collages and using chalk to draw fireworks in the sky. The highlight of the day was creating their very own chocolate sparklers, decorating them with sprinkles to look just like the real thing!

Clay workshop

We had an exciting clay workshop where the children had the freedom to create anything they liked, from dinosaurs to cups and more! They also had the fantastic opportunity to try out the pottery wheel, exploring different techniques and shaping their own unique creations.

Rememberance Day

We have been learning about Remembrance Day and its significance. The children worked together to create a beautiful wreath using their own handprints as poppies. They also enjoyed exploring the tuff tray, engaging in imaginative play with soldiers and bunkers.
