Following on from our poetry work on minibeasts, the children are using resources indoors to make their own minbeast habitats.   They have worked together and were so proud of their creation.  They spent a considerable amount of time playing once it was built.  

Today we have been talking about being made welcome.  We went over to church and re enacted a baptism and discussed being welcome in the Church’s family.

This week we have been looking at different measures.  We have been using our hands to weigh two items and use our hands like a see saw.  The children then went into provision and continued this. 

We have been learning to pray in school.  The children have been practising the sign of the cross and spending special time talking to God.  Sometimes they choose to spend a little time saying a private prayer at our special RE table.  

We enjoy lots of healthy snack in Reception.  Today we were trying a garlic dip with breadstick and fruit.  It was delicious! 

Working together to build a zoo!

The children are learning to share their toys and resources with lots of other children.  They are learning how to resolve conflicts when things do not go their way or they have to wait to use a toy.  We are very proud of how well they are doing. 

We have had such a busy first week in Reception.  We have been exploring all the areas in our classrooms and garden. The children have been learning all about our routines, listening to stories and practising some mindfulness techniques.  We have had a brilliant start to Reception and the children…

The children are meeting lots of new people and playing games together to learn each others names.  

Just a snapshot of the children exploring all our classrooms have to offer.  Don’t worry if you cannot find your child. We will be posting lots over the coming weeks. 

We were very excited when we came into school today and noticed that our caterpillars had hatched out of their chrysalis' into beautiful butterflies.  After lunch we all went into the garden to set them free and watched as they flew away.  

This week we have been talking about how to keep ourselves healthy.  We discussed ways of exercising and healthy foods to eat.  We then chopped up fruit to make a spectacular fruit salad.  The children loved doing this but found the pineapple quite tricky to cut up.
