Yesterday afternoon, as part of our Let’s Explore learning, we have discussed journeys we have been on. We talked about holidays or places we’ve visited, describing locations, how we travelled there and comparing to our homes. ✈️
What a fantastic day reception have had celebrating World Poetry Day! Our focus was The Grand Old Duke of York, we practised and performed this beautifully with clear voices and matching actions. Our independent learning was full with activities linked to The Grand Old Duke of York. We also loved having poetry and pancakes with our parents and friends. 
Reception have been showing off their aiming, throwing and rolling skills in PE today.
We had to roll the ball and throw the beanbag to different targets.
Reception LOVED their first ever church service! We sang our hearts out and loved seeing our family join us as part of the service. Roll on our Christmas service next & the nativity!
Reception have had a fabulous day for our first ever trip! We identified so many local features on our walk and understood why we need them in our local area. We then had a Teddy Bear’s Picnic with our Bede Burn friends and ended with some fun in the park. A massive well done reception on your first ever trip, you made all your teachers very proud! 
Reception picked up their builders hats yesterday and become St Oz builders! As part of our mini topic, Build It Up, we worked in teams to create our own bridges – look at what we created! ♀️
Reception had a great afternoon in PE yesterday, further exploring our unit of ball skills! Our focus this week was on controlling the ball in different ways…
Thank you to all of our parents and carers for a gorgeous reception parent lunch! 
Today reception have continued our topic learning of Build It Up. We explored different types of homes and compared them to our own homes. The children were encouraged to describe the building they live in and its features. In their independent learning children were encouraged to build homes in the construction, follow instructions in the malleable area to build with lolly sticks and use their fine motor skills to design a home. Well done our little builders!
