We have had a fantastic week in Reception. The children really enjoyed their Christmas dinner on Wednesday and their Christmas pantomime 'The Greediest Elf' on Thursday. This week we have also been making Christmas biscuits and icing them. All of the children have settled well and had a great first term in Reception. We hope you have a lovely Christmas holiday.
We have had a fantastic week in Reception looking at space and Christmas. We finished off our space topic at the beginning of the week looking at Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Towards the end of the week we started a few Christmas challenges. The children made some fantastic transient art Christmas themed pictures. On Thursday the Christmas singing performance was a great success and the children all sang well, we loved seeing so many of you there, thank you for coming.
This week we have been learning the sounds sh, th, ng and nk. In P.E. the children pretended they were astronauts and Moon walked through hoops and pulled themselves along on a bench pretending they were moving around the International Space Station. One of the Rainbow Challenge pieces was hidden in a padlocked box and the children had to solve 4 addition number sentences to open the lock and find their piece, everyone had fun trying to open the lock. For the red challenge we wrote down some facts about space and any planets the children could think of.
