Welcome to Reception's Friday Blog!

Phonics

This week we have been learning the digraphs ss, ll and ff that you find at the end of words.

Drawing Club

This week in Drawing Club we have been listening to the story ‘The Hundred Decker Bus.’

We have been discussing the words ‘layer’ and ‘extend’ and learning what they mean.
We  also designed our own decks for our class bus.

Maths

This week we  built Number 8’s Garden this week.

RE

This week, we started to talk about the Nativity Story. We listened to the Bible passage about Mary and Joseph travelling on a Donkey to Bethlehem and the Inn Keeper letting them sleep in his Inn.

Understanding the World

We explored different vehicles this week!

We  watched video clips of different vehicles. Then we went onto our car park and made a tally chart of the different vehicles coming past school.

We also enjoyed our trip to the British Commercial Museum where we found out about different vehicles from the past. Click here to see the photos.

Expressive Art and Design

We have been exploring using our bodies to make art. This week we were printing with our hands.

Physical Development

We practised hopping, star jumping and jumping in sequences.

My Happy Mind

This week we continued to learn about the brain.

We have talked about team HAP (H – Hippocampus, A – Amygdala, P – Prefrontal cortex) and how our brains need all of these to work so we can be happy and calm.
