We love every opportunity to practise our gross motor skills in the garden!

We love using the big blocks in the outdoor resource area.  Here we have created a strong house made from bricks, concrete and a tiled roof! This should keep out the big bad wolf!

Christmas preparation is in full swing in Reception.  We are slowly working our way through costumes for our Nativity play.  Watch out for any lines in book bags this week.  

We were so excited to see the snow on Tuesday morning.  Although there wasn’t that much we certainly made the most of it! Apart from a few cold hands we had a great time. 

Some new wigs and glasses have refreshed our dressing up basket this week!

The children and staff were all excited to take part in Odd Sock Day!  We are kind to each other every day in Reception, and have talked about the importance of this. 

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. 

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…

Final stars of the week for this first half term in Reception.
