Class of 2033 (Rec)

Today we have been talking about being made welcome.  We went over to church and re enacted a baptism and discussed being welcome in the Church’s family.

This week we are looking at poetry around mini beasts

and as part of our work we all going on a mini beast hunt.  The children have loved being in the garden and searching for all the places that the little beasts may be hiding.  We have been learning some new vocabulary related to mini…

We have been enjoying the autumnal sunshine this morning in the garden. The children have loved exploring, we have found lots of lady birds!  We had a campfire with cake and songs.

Using the natural objects around us the children are using tools to practise their pre writing skills. 

This week we have been looking at different measures.  We have been using our hands to weigh two items and use our hands like a see saw.  The children then went into provision and continued this. 

We have been learning to pray in school.  The children have been practising the sign of the cross and spending special time talking to God.  Sometimes they choose to spend a little time saying a private prayer at our special RE table.  

We enjoy lots of healthy snack in Reception.  Today we were trying a garlic dip with breadstick and fruit.  It was delicious! 

Reception went on a lovely walk around the school looking at all the wonderful features God has created. We looked at the plants, trees, birds and sky. 

Every day we practise our motor skills by doing different activities.  This week we are threading small beads onto pipe cleaners, this takes a lot of concentration and dexterity.  

Working together to build a zoo!

The children are learning to share their toys and resources with lots of other children.  They are learning how to resolve conflicts when things do not go their way or they have to wait to use a toy.  We are very proud of how well they are doing. 

The children are loving exploring the water tray. Lots of language opportunities as they play.
