Reception have been having a hentastic time in class. After joining in with retelling the story of the Little Red Hen with actions, they have been busy feeding hens, making puppets based on the story and cooking in the hen's very own bakery. They talked about how the hen was feeling after all her hard work and used their knowledge of sounds to write speech bubbles for her.
We are very excited to have received some wonderful photos of Home Learning. We would love to see some more photos of Reception class learning at home, so that we can add them to the Hall Of Fame; please send your pictures to: [email protected].
Children in the Reception class have been reading ‘The Enormous Turnip’. The children have enjoyed using the small world characters to verbally retell the story and they have enthusiastically joined in with the repeated refrains. Alongside using a turnip to look at, feel and smell, the children have also been decorating turnips. Next week we are going to make vegetable soup.
Reception class had a wonderful time visiting St Mary’s Church. The children spent time exploring the inside of the church and noticed many things like the statues of Mother Mary and the beautiful stained glass windows that depicted different stories from the Bible. Father Steffan read the Nativity story and we sang a hymn. Before heading back to school we had a tour around the Spiritual Garden.
Reception class enjoyed a fantastic visit to the Horniman Museum in Forest Hill. The children enjoyed exploring and discovering a wide range of animals. There was also an opportunity to try on animal masks, before meeting the animals outside. Well done to all of the children for their excellent behaviour and thank you to the parents who joined us to help make it a successful visit.
The children in reception listened to the story of the last supper and made the unleavened bread after. They used milk, flour and a little honey to make the bread which they then enjoyed together thinking about the story of how Jesus shared the bread among his disciples.
On Wednesday the 27th of February, Reception went on a Shape Hunt at St Mary’s Church. We were looking out for 2D shapes as well as 3D shapes as part of our Maths learning.
We celebrated Chinese New Year. We learnt about the Chinese New year story and we made animal masks and sculptures from clay. We also tried out using chopsticks!
Reception went to visit Greenwich on the 21st January to visit one of the most famous ships in the world – The Cutty Sark. The children had a wonderful day out learning all about how the ship got its name and what it used to bring back from overseas. A huge thank you to our wonderful parents who accompanied the children on the trip – we hope they had as much fun as we did!’
