  • We've arrived in China!

    Published 31/01/24

    Reception were extremely excited to take off on another plane journey this week. They flew into China full of excitement! They have been busy learning about where China is on the map, what the flag looks like and the types of houses that they live in. We have been doing lots of craft activities, including lanterns, flags and pandas. We learnt about the Chinese New Year and the children had so much fun joining in with a dragon dance outside.

    In maths, we have been learning about 6, 7 and 8. The children enjoyed working with ten frames and counters to show numbers in different ways.

    Where will we fly to next?

  • All Around The World

    Published 17/01/24

    Reception has had a wonderful start to a new term. We flew into our new topic 'All Around The World'. Our first stop was Cairo in Egypt. We have been learning all about Egypt's climate, landmarks and camels. We have written sentences about camels, made camel masks and have learnt to write in Hieroglyphics. The children have been enjoying our 'airport' role-play area.  They have experienced working at the check-in desk and acting as air stewards, passengers and pilots. We are looking forward to flying to a new country next week. We are so excited to find out where we are going to land!
