Reception have been learning about Marie Curie as part of our Movers and Shakers.
We started off by discussing our understanding of maths and science and what our favourite things were to learn in school. We then discussed our understanding of a scientists and why Marie Curie was a scientist. We then used oil pastels to create daffodils to remember Marie Curie and why she was significant.
Thank you Mrs O’Doherty for ending our first half term in reception with a gorgeous forest school. We ended our build it up topic with den building and then we toasted marshmallows around the fire. What a wonderful end to a very busy half term!
This morning reception had a visit from Gemma and Claire our school nurses. We listened to some stories about brushing our teeth and washing our hands. We sang some songs and played some games. We loved getting our hands glittery to represent the spreading of germs! We’ve all received a certificate, sticker, tooth brush and toothpaste!
Our lovely Year 1 children were so mature today. They came into the Reception class to support our reading session. We paired up with a friend to share our favourite story.
On Monday afternoon, reception paired up with their buddies in Y6 for RE. We were looking at God’s Wonderful World. We went on a nature walk around the nature garden and collected some different autumnal objects. We then took a photograph of one wonder that awed us. We had a gorgeous afternoon with our buddies.
In planning time, reception have been discussing autumn and the seasonal changes we noticed. We have been refining our motor skills and using a vast range of natural resources.
To celebrate Black History Month and our Mover and Shaker Martin Luther King Jnr, reception have been learning about our appearance how we are all different.
We created self portraits by sketching and using oil pastels. We also created backgrounds by printing different shapes and patterns using sponges and rollers. We were so proud of our artwork we invited Mrs Sharrock and Mr Keelan to our art gallery.
During our PE session, Reception have been developing and refining a range of ball skills. We have teamed up with a friend to roll, catch, pass and throw a large ball.
Reception have been exploring capacity and size this morning. We were filling different jugs and containers talking about if they were full, empty, big and small. We used the water and sand to explore these concepts.
Reception have been applying their phonics during guided reading. We have been identifying initial sounds and sorting the pictures. Some of us have been blending and matching the sounds to the words.
