This week we have been looking at dinosaurs, the children have had a great time learning lots of facts about a range of dinosaurs. At the beginning of the week it was great to find out what they already knew about them. We then went on to look at the features of different carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. The children have enjoyed making different habitats for the dinosaurs to live in, making dinosaur parks and drawing pictures of them.
We have had a fantastic week in Reception continuing our learning about the different invertebrates/minibeasts with a focus on ants. Everyone picked something to write a riddle about, giving clues for the other children to guess what they were thinking of. The children have enjoyed finding and sorting 2D and 3D shapes from our inside and outside classrooms. Sports day was a great success and we had a fantastic time with all of the activities!
This week we have had a focus on spiders, the children have loved learning all of the different facts about them. They were fascinated when we found out that some spiders do not spin webs. We had great fun making spider catching games and the children made up new rules to make them more challenging and interesting. The pumpkins and sunflowers we planted have been growing well and are starting to take over the outside classroom.
