Today we talked about the Christmas story. We asked who knew the characters, who they were and which character was the most important in the story of Christmas . We discussed which parts the children in Reception are playing in our performance and how Christians often recreate the story in their church at Christmas. Some of the children then recreated the story and built a stable and others decided to paint the nativity scene.
Another busy week! The children are really developing their phonics and maths skills and using these skills in their independent time. Fabulous creative work and amazing team work.
Another fabulous week in Reception. In our learning means the world theme we have been visiting India. We have been looking at Indian culture, traditions and dancing! Our Sounds Write skills are developing and we have had so much fun in the snow!
This week in Reception we have been using our knowledge of circles and triangles to sort and create shape pictures. We used lots of positional language as we made our way round the obstacle course. We have been working on our Sounds Write skills and made lots of fabulous creations!
Today we talked about Anti-bullying week. We said how it is so important to show everyone respect and to always show kindness to everyone. We celebrated ways we are kind to our friends and family. We also talked about how everyone is different and how it is important to celebrate this. We then designed some odd socks celebrating their differences! ❤️❤️
We had a visit from Reverend Ian at St. John’s church. He talk about Remembrance Sunday. He mentioned how we remember things (like playing a memory game) and how it is so important to remember people who went to war. He then explained how in the bible it mentions peaceful people dying for good people and that we should not take peace for granted.
A fabulous first week back! We have been looking at China in our Learning Means The World theme ‘Come fly with me Asia’. We have been looking at Chinese artefacts, writing our names in Chinese and we even made a Chinese restaurant in our home corner! We also talked about Remembrance Sunday and made poppies, our tree is looking amazing!
