Reception - Summer 1 - Week 2

Date: 26th Apr 2023 @ 1:09pm

What a lovely week we have had together in Reception. The children are certainly learning lots and having fun!

This week at Forest school the children have continued to think about Earth day, the children recalled that one of the ways we can help our planet is to collect rubbish. The children used the special litter collecting resources gloves, litter picking poles and bags, they then spent time on our Forest school area collecting rubbish, the children were amazed to see how much rubbish there was! Well done Reception.

We have continued to enjoy talking about ‘Friends’ for our theme in RE. The children enjoyed listening to the story of ‘The Rainbow Fish’. Together we discussed the different events of the story and thought about if Rainbow Fish had been a kind friend? This linked beautifully to our school value of Nurture and reminded us to be kind to others and yourself and one of the ways we can do that by sharing our resources and toys.

The children began our new theme for the half term ‘Growth and Change’ by learning all about Frogs. We were super excited when Mrs Bevin brought some frogspawn into school for us to observe, she had found it in her Dad’s pond! We began the week by discussing what we know about Frogs and completed a class circle map, we could not believe how much we had learnt when we added to this our circle map on Friday!

We wish you all a lovely weekend and the sun shines for the Bank holiday
