RE Day in Reception

21st October 2024K Richardson

Reception have been learning about the Harvest Festival. Kit Kat the Bunny and Jenie brought some vegetables to school. They told the children that every year they go to a special celebration in their church where they thank God for all of his food gifts. They also talked about how Christians take food to church to celebrate the Harvest Festival and then share the food out with people who live nearby.  We talked about our favourite vegetables, described how they felt, their size colours and what they looked like. We then investigated them with our friends. We read the story Oliver’s Vegetables and sang the ‘Cauliflowers Fluffy’ song.

Visit From Reverand Ian

3rd October 2024K Richardson

Yesterday Hebburn Lakes had a visit from Reverand Ian who is from St John’s church. He talked to the children about powerful animals and then moved on to talk about parts of our body that are powerful. He then discussed how our tongue is so powerful because of what we say and the impact it can have. The children had lots of ideas about the words we could use. Some of the suggestions were: beautiful, gorgeous, I love you and stay positive.

This week in maths we have been sharing and grouping. The children have done a fabulous job. They have problem solved, explained their reasons and ensured all groups are equal. They also shared sweets between themselves and their friends, again using their problem solving and reasoning skills throughout. Of course they ate the sweets after! Ask them to show you their skills at home.
