Reception have taken full advantage of the sunshine yesterday! During planning time outdoors we have been milking cows, linked to our topic ‘ready steady grow’. We talked about where milk comes from and what we use milk for.
Everyone loved the chalk and some of us used it to make our own hop scotch, linked to our maths and numbers to 10. Children also worked on their physical development, climbing the different apparatus outdoors. We’ve had a gorgeous day!
Superheroes unite! On Friday, reception were lucky enough to have our friends from Bede Burn school visit us. We completed lots of lovely activities around super heroes, with lots of us focusing on our physical development. We then had a lovely afternoon sharing our ‘super’ reading with our parents and carers. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
Yesterday, reception went on an animal hunt. In pairs we had to find different animals and their babies. We discussed the different names and how some of them don’t look like their adults.
Wow! Take a look at our beautiful Easter Crosses created during RE by the Reception children.
WE LOVE WORLD BOOK DAY! 
Reception had a great afternoon this afternoon exploring our nature garden and bird coop, thinking about where our food comes from and what we have on our doorstep!
Reception had an amazing time at Morrisons looking at different food and discussing where it was sourced. We bought lots of lovely fresh fruit and scanned it ourselves. We will be using the fruit as part of our learning about healthy eating linked to our PE!
Some of our reception children chalked their own lengths outside, today! Then they had to race to a friend, check their line and draw a line either longer, or shorter, after listening carefully to Mrs Sharrock’s instructions!
Reception jumped straight back into their phonics yesterday and we applied our digraphs and tricky words. We challenged the children with writing captions, introducing children to capital letters and full stops.
