Reception - Summer 1 - Week 6

Date: 22nd May 2024 @ 1:27pm

Well we cannot quite believe we are approaching half term!

For RE this week we have continued with our ‘Special places’ theme. The children really loved sharing their pictures of special places and discussing why these places were so special. The children had lots of interesting questions to ask each other, this also let us to think about Church as a special place to visit at times when we want to feel close to Jesus, although we did realise that we don’t always have to go to church to feel close to Jesus.

The week in Forest school, we planted our own sunflower seeds. We also talked about what we need to do to care for our plants to make sure they have what they need to grow. We can’t wait to see what happens next! 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.

After allowing our clay bowls to dry over the weekend, we were able to paint them. They looked amazing!

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