We have had a wonderful few weeks in Reception. Our book of the week was 'My Pet Star'. The children made their own special pet stars and then wrote some impressive sentences to describe them. In PSHE we have been learning about the importance of listening to instructions. We had a great afternoon completing a giant obstacle course in our playground. We had to listen carefully and then hop, skip, balance, climb and run. In maths we have been focusing on number bonds to 5 and 10. We have used cubes, counters, numicon and beads to make the bonds. We have also been busy designing amazing rockets, and we are so excited to make them on Friday during our Rocket Day!
We have had a fantastic half term in Reception exploring and learning about toys! To finish the topic, we made our own toys—paper kites—using bright colours and creative designs. After completing them, we took them outside to see how well they could fly in the wind. It was such an exciting experience watching them soar through the air!
We have had a fun packed few weeks in Reception. Last week we wrote our first sentences about toys. We remembered to use capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. This week we have been reading 'The Gruffalo' and 'The Tiger who came to Tea'. We used puppets and toys to re-tell the stories and made masks. The highlight of our week was celebrating 'The Chinese New year'. We had such an exciting time making lanterns, building the Great Wall of China outside and dancing with the dragon.

Our traditional tale this week is 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. The children enjoyed making their own puppets and acting out the story in our puppet theatres. They have also loved making play dough trolls and giant cardboard trolls. We were very impressed with their artistic skills, which they showed in their story maps. They have also been very creative about designing bridges using a range of indoor and outdoor resources. Hopefully the troll will not break their bridge......
