Reception - Autumn 1 - Week 6

Date: 12th Oct 2022 @ 2:33pm

This week for RE, the children learnt how people from other countries celebrate ‘Harvest’ and enjoyed finding these different countries on the Globe. They also began to make connections with how we celebrate Harvest or other special occasions and how other countries celebrate e.g. we have turkey at Christmas in America they have it at ‘Thanksgiving’. The children learnt that in Thailand they use fruit from the harvest to make pictures with and enjoyed making their own pictures using different fruits.

Thank you to all of those who collected and sent in Autumn treasures, in Maths this week we have used the treasures to learn all about making simple patterns. The children loved using these resources and soon learnt how we can make patterns using shapes, colours and even realised that whilst singing the song ‘Heads, shoulders, Knees and Toes’ we were making a pattern.

On Monday we celebrated ‘World Mental Health’ day, the children listened to the story of ‘Simon Sock’. We talked about how it is ok to be different from our friends and that it is good to talk about our feelings to our friends and family. The children ended the day with a walk through our ‘Positivity Pathway’ with our Year 6 buddies.

We also enjoyed a visit from Dom from Active Sefton, who talked to the children all about Healthy eating and making the right choices with our food. The children enjoyed using our senses to explore different fruits before Dom made it into a healthy smoothie for us all to taste.

We all arrived to school on Friday in our Pyjamas to raise money for Alder Hey. Throughout the day the children enjoyed listening to stories with their friends and were even treated to a Hot chocolate and a biscuit!

Well done Reception you have worked very hard this week, enjoy the weekend and we will see you on Monday.
