Reception - Spring 1 - Week 3

Date: 17th Jan 2023 @ 4:21pm

What a very busy week we have had!

For RE this week we continued with our theme of ‘Stories Jesus Heard’ by reading the children the story of ‘Jonah and the Whale’, we discussed how is is important to listen to listen to others and to carry out taks we have been asked to do. The children then enjoyed creating their own whale pictures.

The children began the week with Forest school and we certainly did need our wellies and warm clothing! The children were given the task of collecting together natural materials they could use to help make a snowman from flour! The children were split into groups, given a small bowl of flour and were asked to use natural resources to create their own snowman, the children were very proud of their creations.

Continuing with our ‘Winter’ theme children began the week by exploring Arctic animals. They enjoyed looking at the different animals we have in our block play and then sorting those arctic animals from the others. The children were also challenged with writing facts about these animals in our writing area. We enjoyed learning about Eskimos and how now they may live in more modern homes but they may also live in Igloos, the children then enjoyed the challenge of using sugar cubes to create their own Igloos!

We look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

Mrs Bevin and Mrs Molloy and all of the Reception Team
