Take a look at what activities each year group carried out on or RE Day this week!
Today we talked about the Christmas story. We asked who knew the characters, who they were and which character was the most important in the story of Christmas . We discussed which parts the children in Reception are playing in our performance and how Christians often recreate the story in their church at Christmas. Some of the children then recreated the story and built a stable and others decided to paint the nativity scene.
In One Red and One BLue this week we have been learning all about the Aurora in Learning Means the World. The children created beautiful pictures in their Art lesson to create the ‘Northern Lights’. They used different coloured pastels to rub and create beautiful representation of the night sky colourful explosions.
Another busy week! The children are really developing their phonics and maths skills and using these skills in their independent time. Fabulous creative work and amazing team work.
Another fabulous week in Reception. In our learning means the world theme we have been visiting India. We have been looking at Indian culture, traditions and dancing! Our Sounds Write skills are developing and we have had so much fun in the snow!
Today in LMTW .Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’ 1 Red focused on the subject of Art. The children had built ‘inukshuks’ (a structure of rough stones stacked in the form of a human figure, traditionally used by Inuit people as a landmark or commemorative sign). The figure of the inukshuk is omnipresent in Inuit tradition. The children used teamwork to work together to make wonderful representations.
We have been looking at the artist Christy Brown. We found out that he had Cerebral Palsy and that his only working limb was his left leg. He created his fantastic drawings with his left foot. We were so inspired that we decided to have a go ourselves and we soon found out that it was harder than we thought it was going to be. Christy Brown is certainly a hero!
This week in Reception we have been using our knowledge of circles and triangles to sort and create shape pictures. We used lots of positional language as we made our way round the obstacle course. We have been working on our Sounds Write skills and made lots of fabulous creations!
The children in 1 Red have been so enthusiastic about our Learning Means the World theme ‘Come Fly with me Arctic Circle’ and are loving learning about the habitats, people and animals that live in the Arctic. Today we learnt all about an Inuit (Eskimo) and it’s life within the Arctic circle. The children had Design and Technology lesson where they had to use appropriate materials to design and make their own Inuit. They discussed the different materials they used and used the associated vocabulary to describe them. Some of these Inuit’s may be found on the catwalk as their outfits are simply amazing!
A fabulous first week back! We have been looking at China in our Learning Means The World theme ‘Come fly with me Asia’. We have been looking at Chinese artefacts, writing our names in Chinese and we even made a Chinese restaurant in our home corner! We also talked about Remembrance Sunday and made poppies, our tree is looking amazing!
