We remembered the soldiers who died for us.  We all made a poppy to put in the window.  We observed the two minutes silence by watching the CBeebies ‘Poppies”. 

This weeks stars in Reception!

After reading the story of ‘The Three Little Pig's’ Rosie used the lightbox to make her own house.  We love the colours that shine through on the box. 

This week in Reception we have been using our ‘maths eyes’ to look at small groups of objects and say, without counting, how many there are! The children have loved playing games to subitse. 

This week we have been exploring repeats in songs and stories. We have also been using objects and paints to make line patterns and repeated patterns. 

To introduce our new book, The Three Little Pigs, the children were shocked to discover someone had made a terrible mess in our classroom! The suspect left footprints and left lots of straw and sticks laying around! We came up with a plan about who had committed such terrible crimes, we thought it…

We have been exploring patterns and repeats.  Using stones and pebbles we made some firework patterns, carefully following lines, developing their visual accuracy and fine motor skills.  

Sharing our work or news from home is a very special time for us in Nursery.  This week we are enjoying time to share our half term news. Many children have been very busy with Halloween and Bonfire Night celebrations.  Thank you children, we love learning all about you!  

This week Reception have been looking at numbers 1 2 and 3.  We sorted various ways of showing the numbers as class, the children then did in small groups before finally bring left to explore themselves. 

We had such an exciting time yesterday when we took part in Scoot Fit.  The children absolutely loved scooting around to the music.  They were so confident and particularly enjoyed the scoot football.  ‘Best day ever!’ Jacob said. 

The children had lots of fun this morning with Scoot Fit! They sang, danced and improved their scootering skills.

This week we have been exploring clay making different shapes to create mini-beasts. This is helping us to improve our fine motor skills.
