Welcome to Reception's Friday Blog!

Phonics

This week we have learnt the sounds p, i and n. We have talked about what sounds we can hear at the beginning of different words, like; pin, insect and noodle.

Drawing Club

This week in Drawing Club we have listened to the story of The Little Red Hen.

We drew the Little Red Hen and we created something new for her to bake.

Maths

We visited Numberland this week.

 We built number 1’s garden and we found objects that are on their own to add to it.

Rosie Posie the Problem Pixie also paid us a visit to change the garden. We tried to spot what she had changed.

Have a look at the pictures here.

RE

We listened to the Creation Story this week and talked about all the wonderful things that God has created in our world.

We also visited Church to take part in the Harvest Festival.

Expressive Art and Design

We made pictures which included our own special people.

In Music we listened to the rhythm of instruments.

Understanding the World

This week, we discussed the five senses. We focussed on the sense of smell this week and what we use to smell with. Have a look at us using our sense of smell here.

Forest School

This week we played a game where we hid toys in the nature area. We were in teams and the team who found the most toys was the winner.

We also learnt how to tie knots in strawberry laces. We persevered and realised that the more we practise any skill, the easier we will find it. We made the strawberry laces disappear!

Then it was time for some child-initiated play. We were finding and cooking apples, finding snails and ladybirds, climbing and jumping as well as inventing our own games. We had a lovely review session at the end.
