Writing in Reception
Some fabulous independent writing today in Reception.
Father Christmas’ Castle
Reception are getting very excited for the big day. The girls built a castle for Father Christmas so he can make their toys in it! All three want new dolls for Christmas.
Counting
The children love to watch Numberblocks and today had a go at making their own number stairway using our multilink cubes. There was lots of counting and checking to make sure that the correct number was reached.
Four Sides or Not!
This week we have been looking at 2d shapes. We have talked about the properties of the shapes, including corners and sides. We then sorted various shapes according to the number of sides they had.
Exploring Colour and Texture
In Reception we have been using watercolours to explore mixing and different textures when we are painting. The children loved the delicate colours the paints made. Clancy and Isabella particularly enjoyed this activity.
Christmas cards
Christmas card designs are on the go in Reception! The children are using water colours to carefully create their design.
A Balancing Act
We love every opportunity to practise our gross motor skills in the garden!
Building Work in Reception
We love using the big blocks in the outdoor resource area. Here we have created a strong house made from bricks, concrete and a tiled roof! This should keep out the big bad wolf!
Nearly Time!
Christmas preparation is in full swing in Reception. We are slowly working our way through costumes for our Nativity play. Watch out for any lines in book bags this week.
Snow!
We were so excited to see the snow on Tuesday morning. Although there wasn’t that much we certainly made the most of it! Apart from a few cold hands we had a great time.
In Disguise!
Some new wigs and glasses have refreshed our dressing up basket this week!
Odd Sock Day
The children and staff were all excited to take part in Odd Sock Day! We are kind to each other every day in Reception, and have talked about the importance of this.
