What another busy week in Reception!

We welcomed Caroline this week for Godly play.  The children were able to learn all about Jesus’ baptism in the river Jordan by John the Baptist and had the opportunity to baptise a doll for themselves.  They used special oil and named their baby before baptising them in a special font. 

The children have been working so hard during our literacy lessons this week.  We have continued to discover more about the main character Hattie Peck, in our book 'The Journey Home'.  The children reflected on happy moments and loved sharing their memories and photos of outings with their friends and families.  It was wonderful to listen to their descriptions of happy times and we even had them planning return trips to special places with their friends!  The children wrote some fantastic sentences, remembering our finger spaces and full stops!  We were so proud of their hard work and determination.

Continuing with our space theme, we considered why we have night and day.  There were some fantastic ideas from the children!  We then explored what makes night and day, using the children to show us how the earth orbits the sun.  The children showed fantastic understanding and their interest in space continues to grow.  We have had letters from space, rocket and planet paintings and further adventures in our space station over the week. The children’s imaginations are ‘out of this world’!

This month's top book picks from 'Love Reading' have been released today. It shares exciting new story books from a variety of authors for different age ranges.

Have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.
