Reception -Summer 1 -Week 6

Date: 23rd May 2023 @ 4:12pm

Well we cannot quite believe we are approaching half term!

For RE this week we enjoyed visiting St Peter’s Church for our WOW service. Caroline and Anne talked about how the church is a special place. The children always love visiting church and for the Reception class 2 more before we finish for the summer.

On Monday when we took part in Forest school in our outdoor area and replanted our sunflowers into our garden. We also talked about what we need to do to care for our plants and checked on the plants that have started blooming too. What great fun we had!

This week we have enjoyed learning all about ‘Ladybirds’. The children have enjoyed painting different types of Ladybirds, making ladybirds out of playdough and also trying to find them in our outside area. The children learnt that Ladybirds lay their eggs in clusters or rows on the underside of a leaf, so also spent time looking under the leaves to see if they could find any ladybird eggs.

We are also very excited about the bird’s nest in the outdoor area and have been thinking about different ways we can help the mummy bird. The children decided they would like to leave water for the bird over half term so she can have a little drink if she needs it. Keep checking on Twitter as we will keep you updated when the eggs hatch.

We wish you all a lovely weekend and a fabulous half term!

Mrs Bevin, Mrs Molloy and the Reception team
