Welcome to Reception's Friday Blog!

Communication and Language

This week we have been taking part in listening games.

We had French with Miss Whiting. We practised saying Hello again and we learnt Goodbye!

Personal, Emotional and Social Development

This week we have revisited the colour monster. We sorted the colours whilst talking about the feelings of each colour and discussing times we may have felt this way.

Expressive Art and Design

We have continued to explore primary colours, but this week we have been mixing them to see what colours they make. See the gallery here.

We had Music with Mrs Campbell. We listened to music from other countries.

Understanding the World

This week we have been learning about the season of Autumn and what happens in our world when this season arrives. The children have loved exploring our outdoors to create our Autumn tray. We also made leaf rubbings with the items we found!

Drawing Club

This week we have been listening to the story of the Three Little Pigs.

We drew pictures of who we live with in our houses.

Physical Development

This week we have introduced our dough disco and pen disco to help strengthen our hand muscles.

Forest School

We played a game in our nature area. Someone hid a toy whilst everyone else closed their eyes. We then had to find the toy. The person who had hidden it shouted ‘hot’ if we were near to the toy and ‘cold’ if we were far away from it. We had a discussion about the seasons and how we are moving into Autumn. We went on a leaf hunt and threaded our leaves on a skewer. We were really good at noticing different colours, shapes and sizes.
