Reception - Spring 2 - Week 1
Date: 24th Feb 2022 @ 8:48pm
It was so lovely to welcome the children back to school this week and hear all their news!
We introduced the children to our new topic of Animals from around the world with an exciting rainforest explorer role play area, which has been incredibly popular all week. The children have been on adventures deep into the rainforest, spotting animals and creating some wonderful stories.
Our WOW service on Wednesday was focused on the meaning of Lent, explaining all the significant days that are coming up between now and Easter. A big thank you to Anne and Caroline.
The children have impressed so much this week with their maths learning, showing enthusiasm and great reasoning skills when combining groups of numbers, using number lines and comparing heights.
We have also begun a new literacy topic, although the focus book is yet to be revealed to the children! We were shocked to discover a mysterious creature had caused chaos in our school bin store, making such a mess. This captured the children's imaginations and there were many discussions about who the culprit could be, with some fantastic suggestions and explanations.
The sun was shining for us at Forest School on Tuesday. The children took bark rubbings, enjoying the trees and being out in nature. Thank you Mrs Bevin!
We were also very lucky to have a music session with Music In Unison. The children absolutely loved playing the different instruments, dancing and joining in with musical games. We are so grateful to Tara for giving the children such a wonderful musical experience and we cannot wait until next week!
Have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.
Mrs Mallett and the Reception Team
