Welcome to Reception 2024-2025
A farm-tastic day!
We had a wonderful trip to Whitehouse Farm on the coach. When we arrived we went to the lambing shed, we got to meet the lambs and the feed the baby goats. It tickled when they ate off our hands!
After the lambing barn we explored the farm and met some other animals, we held an ostrich egg and then went on a tractor ride.
Just before our picnic in the barn, we burnt off some extra energy on the bouncy pillows, they were so much fun!
After lunch we had a go on the big slide, before heading to the petting barn where we had the opportunity to meet and hold lots of small animals. We held a baby rabbit, a guinea pig, a mouse, a lizard and a snake. We were so brave!
We are learning about the change in season and we are so happy to look for signs of Spring.
In Science we have been planting seeds. We tried our best to place the seed at the side of the pot so we can observe any shoots that may appear. We talked about what a plant needs to grow, learning about soil, plenty of sunlight and a good drink of water. We can’t wait for them to grow and will check them daily to look at any changed we see.
In Maths we have been learning to measure objects using non-standard measure. We measured each other using our hands, feet, number lines, book bags.
Then we worked in small groups using string to measure each other. We discussed who was the tallest and shortest.
Gingerbread Man fun!
Remembrance Day
The school nurses came into class to teach us about germs and the importance of hand washing throughout the day and brushing our teeth twice a day.
Harvest Festival soup preparation is underway!
We brought vegetables in from home to make Harvest soup for our parents this week. Firstly we decided to use some to create a repeated pattern, getting messy with paint! We could choose up to 3 vegetables to make a pattern and learnt to say the pattern aloud to prompt us which vegetable to use next to create and describe our repeated patterns. Then we spoke about hygiene and the importance of washing our hands before preparing food to kill the germs. We also discussed how to use equipment safely. We used knives, peelers, and cutters to prepare the vegetables.
We got on the coach to the Customs House to see the theatre production of The Tiger Who came to Tea.
We were lucky to go for afternoon tea at Craft and Coffee just like the Tiger in the story.
We are enjoying retelling the story and recreating the woodland scene. We are learning to use story language and interact with others.
