This week in Reception we have painted our self portraits. We focused on our face details, our eye colour, hair colour and skin tone. 

We had so much fun today, we learnt some Bollywood dancing, we got to use some scarves and we also learnt some skills with the hoops. 

We had lots of fun exploring and seeing what we could find. We found lots of different coloured leaves, conkers, sticks and some large spiders making webs. 

Harold taught us all about our bodies and how to keep them happy and healthy. 

We had so much fun yesterday visiting Martin Mere. We followed a map, we saw lots of birds and we had lots of fun in the splay/play park. 

Today in Reception we practiced some dance from around the world. We did some hip hop, Irish, Bollywood, Bhangra, Latin and Chinese. 

Today we learnt all about China and Hong Kong. We learnt to write numbers in Chinese, we practiced using chopsticks and tried some food. 

Today Reception and Nursery took a visit to our local fish and chip shop. We learnt about things we are famous for,  traditional British foods, we made our own afternoon tea and practiced lots of skills when making our own sandwiches. We also learnt all about our King and when he came to visit…

Reception had an enjoyable day learning about cultural diversity within our class. We looked at where places were on the map and the children spoke about their countries. 

We have had a great day. We have been learning how to ride a bike and learning lots of new skills. 

The past few weeks we have been learning all about going on a bear hunt. We have been on our own bear hunt and a sensory walk with each part. We have made creative work for each part of the story. We have also done some amazing writing and we included some super wow words. 

Today we were practicing our number bonds to 5 and 10. We had lots of fun whilst doing this.
