Reception - Spring 1 - Week 2

Date: 11th Jan 2023 @ 4:38pm

What a very busy week we have had!

For RE this week the children enjoyed exploring our chatterbox, this was full of lots of different items linked to  our new theme ‘Stories Jesus Heard’. The children enjoyed discussing what types of stories they thought Jesus would have listened to when he was little and which are their favourite stories.

The children began the week with a visit to our Forest school site and we certainly did need our wellies and waterproofs! The children were given the task of using a checklist to look for different signs of winter, we had great fun working with our partner to find them!

As part of our theme ‘Winter’ the children have enjoyed a variety of different stories with our favourite being ‘A thing called snow’ by Yuval Zommer. We talked about the types of clothing we may wear in the winter and then how they are different to the clothes we wear in summer. The children enjoyed sorting different clothes and talking about why they would or would not wear them in the winter.

To end the week, we enjoyed listening to some classical music ‘Vivaldi’s Four Seasons’ winter section. We recalled our visit to forest school and discussed how trees look during the winter season. While listening to the music, the children were encouraged to sketch the bare winter trees, and what a great job they did! We certainly do have some budding artists in the class.

We look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

Mrs Bevin, Mrs Molloy and all of the Reception Team
