Pumpkin Soup
We have been reading the story 'Pumpkin Soup' and exploring all things pumpkins. We were excited to have found out where and how they grow and, what we can do with pumpkins!
We found out that pumpkins are not just for decoration, but are delicious to eat too! We made our very own pumpkin tea loaf cake.
The Leaf Thief
The Leaf Thief is our key text for this half term. You can listen to Mr Midgley reading the story here.
Before we read the story, we looked for clues to predict what the book might be about.
It must be Autumn, look at the colours of the leaves.
The squirrel looks like he needs the leaves for his nest.
We know all about squirrels now, where they live, what they like to eat and how they survive in the winter.
We have worked with Joel to find out about different kinds of birds that we might notice in the forest. Look at our wonderful drawings.
Remembrance Day
We have been finding out about Remembrance Day and why poppies are significant. We enjoyed creating our own poppies in different ways.
We watched this wonderful video to help us understand more.
We held 2 minutes of peace in our classroom and reflected on what we had learnt about.
Diwali
We have had a wonderful week celebrating the festival of Diwali and found out what Mrs Bhardwaj and her family have been celebrating this festival. It is often called the festival if light because of the bright decorations and lights used.
We read the story 'The Best Diwali Ever' and found out what rangoli patterns and diva lamps are for.
We were excited to make our own!
Circles, Triangles and Squares
In Maths, we have been finding out about the numerals 1, 2, 3 and 4. We know how to subitise these amounts and can show how many this is on our fingers. We have been thinking about the composition of these amounts too.
We looked at some shapes and learnt new vocabulary to help us explain how we can identify a shape.
The Nativity
Introducing Tom and Tessa... we were lucky enough to be supported by our lovely PTA and a very talented parent to get our hands on these crochet dolls to help us with our RE learning.
They delivered a very special story...
SNOW much fun!
We were SNOWWWWW excited to find some beautiful soft and crunchy snow in our outside area! Look at all of the fun we had.
We have loved helping to decorate our class Christmas tree, make our own decorations, Christmas cards, wrap presents and make reindeer crispy buns for our school Winter Wonderland.
Christmas decorations
We had lots of festive fun in Reception for our Stay and Play event this morning. We had such an amazing turn out with more than 30 parents joining us. Look at all of the wonderful things we got up-to together!
