Reception - Spring 1 - Week 6

Date: 11th Feb 2025 @ 4:18pm

What a fun filled half term we have had in Reception!

• We have had an exciting time learning about space! We’ve explored planets and discovered amazing facts about our solar system. We even learned about Neil Armstrong and his incredible journey to the moon.
• We had a visit from an alien called ‘Beegu’ who crash landed in our classroom. The children were challenged to build a rocket to help him and his Mum get back home.
• We started to explore the change in season in our environment during Forest School. The children loved having fun in the snow!
• To celebrate Chinese New Year, we enjoyed a Chinese banquet together, made Chinese lanterns and took part in a dragon dance.
• In Maths, we have been focussing on the numbers 6,7 and 8. We’ve been practicing doubling and halving, one more one less, combining two groups and we have also been exploring mass and weight. The children have enjoyed weighing objects to see which is heavier or lighter.
• In RE, we have enjoyed learning about some of the great stories that Jesus heard from the Bible including, Daniel and the Lions Den, Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale and Joseph’s Coat. These stories have taught us valuable lessons about faith, courage and kindness.
• We had a special visit from Formby dentist who taught us about how to take care of our teeth. The children learnt about the importance of brushing twice a day and eating healthy foods for strong teeth!
• During National Story Telling week, our Year 6 buddies came down to read us our favourite stories. We love sharing our love for books with our friends.
• In PE, we have been practicing gymnastics, learning how to balance, make poses and use different equipment.
