A short but busy week this week. This week we were thinking about how we are all special and unique. We read the story Elmer and found out what made him special. We then thought about ways in which we are special and enjoyed taking part in lots of Elmer activities. We have also enjoyed learning about how we have changed since we were little.

Another busy week in school this week. We have learnt about mass in maths and enjoyed using the balances to find objects that were heavier and lighter than each other. We even found some objects that were equal. We enjoyed talking about our families and the things we like to do together. We used lots of Autumn treasures we found to make our family portraits.

This week in Reception we have been thinking about Harvest. In our RE we began the week by thinking about the Creation Story and how God made the world and everything in it for us to enjoy. We then had a special visitor come and join us for class worship. His name was Neil, and he works really hard to keep our town of Colne tidy. We wanted to help and together we used some of the rubbish he collected to make a rainbow just like in the story of Noah. The ‘Rainbow of Rubbish’ we made helps us to remember the promise God made and how we can make a promise to look after God’s world too.

FRENCH DAY!

We had a lot of fun on French Day. We began the day by enjoying a French breakfast, where we learnt to ask for what we wanted in French. We took part in lots of French activities ~ we played Petanque (French Bowls), learnt the colours of the rainbow in French, learnt and sang the French nursery rhyme Frere Jaques. We learnt some facts about France and we even managed to look at the French artist Sonia Delaunay and tried to recreate some of her art work.  

WOW, what a fun-filled week we have had. We have enjoyed making and recreating patterns in maths, learnt about different types of houses in our topic work, took part in French Day AND Poetry Day.

Another busy week in school. We have done lots of sorting in maths, enjoyed reading our focus text Funny Bones, taking part in some smelly challenges and enjoyed working on our fundamental movement skills in PE. We also got to meet out buddies and had lots of fun working with them on an orienteering challenge around the school.

This week, we have been learning about our bodies. We have enjoyed drawing around ourselves and labelling the different body parts as well as making ourselves using loose parts. We enjoyed taking part in our first Yoga lesson in PE and even helped rescue a bee.

We had an exciting week this week ~ we had our first OPAL playtime. We had lots of fun building and using all the different equipment. Our text focus has been Oi Frog! (which we LOVED!) where we have taken part in lots of rhyming games and made our own bouncy frogs.

What a lovely first week we have had in school getting to know each other and finding our way around our new classroom.
