China Week Photos

As promised, here are some photographs of the fun we had on China Week!

Storytelling week and a SPECIAL REQUEST!

This week (W/b 2nd Feb.) is Storytelling week. In class, we will be creating our own class story, aswell as listening to lots of different stories by different authors.

Our key text for the week will be Winnie the Witch by Valerie Thomas. As part of our work on this book, on Friday 6th Feb. all children in Reception are invited to come dressed as something associated with Winnie the witch. This could be a witch or a wizard or something completely unique! We look forward to seeing your creations.

If you have any further questions, please have a word with any of us. Thank-you.

The Reception Team

China Week

We had a very busy week this week! We learnt lots of information about China, listened to the Chinese Zodiac story, sung some Chinese songs, had a go at some Chinese dancing and made Chinese New Year cards, masks and envelopes. We wrote a sentence about our favourite part of China week, using our sounds and keywords to help us.

Photographs of all the fun of China week in Reception will be uploaded soon!

Have a great weekend!

Indoor P.E - Balances

In indoor P.E this term we are thinking about balances. We learnt that when we balance we must stand very still and make sure that the only part of our body touching the floor is the part that we are balancing on.

We learnt that we can balance on the small parts (feet, hands, shoulders, head) and large parts (tummy, back) of our bodies and had a go.

Which parts of your body can you balance on?

Transport and Journeys

This term our topic is Transport and Journeys.

To start our topic we made a mind-map of everything that we already knew about transport. We came up with lots of ideas which was great!

We will be learning lots more about vehicles over the next few weeks so watch this space.

To start off see if your child can name the vehicles above and talk about what they are used for. How do they work; do they use petrol, electricity or a different power source? Do they carry people or parcels? How many wheels do they have? What are the different parts called?

Can they name any other vehicles?
