Welcome to Reception's Friday Blog!

Phonics

This week we have learnt the sounds s, a and t. We have talked about what sounds we can hear at the beginning of different words, like; spaghetti, ant and table.

RE

We have learnt all about the Bible this week.

This week we have made some special bookmarks for our blessing in Church.

Expressive Art and Design

We have been making our own Autumn leaves by cutting and tearing paper.

We have made our own rainbows to decorate our classroom.

We had Music with Mrs Campbell. We have categorised groups of instruments.

Understanding the World

This week we have continued to talk about Autumn, especially as we have had so many lovely treasures coming in from your Autumn walks.

We carried out a colour experiment using skittles and water. First, we predicted what we thought might happen, then we waited and watched as the colours slowly merged into the water. We used some amazing vocabulary to describe what we could see (fizz and dissolve). See the photos here

In French, with Miss Whiting we celebrated European Day of Languages. In the lesson we shared what other languages we might know or want to learn. We then identified ways which we can celebrate other languages and cultures, including learning new words, tasting their food, practising languages we know. To finish the lesson, we learned ways to say hello and goodbye in other European languages.

Physical Development

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

In PE this week we have practised throwing and catching.

Forest School

We had a brilliant session in the muddy nature area. We used the cutters to make leaf confetti and some of us tried stick wrapping with wool. Both of these activities are really good for developing our fine motor skills. We had a lovely review session at the end when we were invited to say one thing we had noticed, learnt, discovered or someone we had played with.

We have also put the information from our Parent Curriculum Night. Thank you to everyone who has attended. To see the slides please click here.
