In Drawing Club this week the children in reception have been focusing on the story of ‘The Disgusting Sandwich’. We looked at all of the horrible fillings that were added to the sandwich during the story. The children wanted to make their own sandwiches using fillings of their choice and discussed how they tasted. This was all after Mrs Sikka made a disgusting sandwich of sand and mud to eat. The children were horrified!
We linked this all to our LMTW theme ‘Food Glorious Food’.
The children in Reception are having so much fun exploring dance through their Little Movers PE sessions, here is a clip of their wonderful dance performance.
As part of our LMTW theme ‘Food Glorious Food’ we have been looking at ‘sweet foods’ We have used the story ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ throughout the week including Drawing Club. The children have been building the bears house using 3D shapes which was part of our maths this week. We talked about which shapes would be the best for building and why. They recreated the story, wrote captions, read instructions of how to make porridge and used their maths skills of full and empty to recreate the porridge scene, also using size to make sure the bears were in the corrects chairs! We tasted honey and talked about how it is a healthy sweet option and why. We then ate a variety of sweet foods and timed how long it would take to eat them. We talked about which took the longest/shortest times and why, using our science skills of how chocolate melts and why. We looked at and discussed which sweet foods are healthy and which are not healthy, ask your children to tell you, they were experts!
The week before the end of term was another good week for attendance.
We had many children with 100% attendance. Well done, keep up the hard work!
We are thrilled to share with you that our Rainbow Flag evidence has been reviewed from our recent audit and we can proudly say that we have achieved the award again!

We have had a very busy week in Reception. We have been learning about the Easter Story and the build up to Easter. The importance of Easter for Christians and what symbols represent Easter. We have been making chicks, eggs, baskets, chocolate nest, retelling the story of Easter and so much more! Ask us to tell you about Easter and when you are supposed to have Easter eggs!
Last week’s attendance was amazing!
