Reception had a fabulous day at the beach. Sunshine, a shallow dip, ice creams and so much sandy fun and exploration! A perfect end to an amazing year!
In our Jigsaw session this week we have been looking at different part of the male and female anatomy. We sorted pictures into a Venn diagram to explain what body parts we shared and which part were different. We have looked at the real names for these body parts and discussed our ever changing bodies.
As part of our previous theme ‘What on earth?’ and then linking into our current theme ‘Over the Rainbow’ Reception were very lucky to look after some caterpillars. We investigated the life cycle and then watched out caterpillars grow, change to the chrysalis stage and then finally our beautiful butterflies emerged! We observed them for a day or two and fed them fruit, when they were ready, we let them go free! Some of them flew off straight away, but one of them stayed as it seemed to like sitting with one of our girls!
1 Red and the rest of the school took part in Diversity Week. We looked at how we were all different and that we like different things, that the whole world has many cultures and beliefs and that we should be accepting and inclusive to all.
We have had a great time celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! Lots of red, white and blue fun finished off with a lunchtime street party!
Our new theme in Learning Means The World is ‘ What on earth?’ We have been looking at living things, old and new things and life cycles. To ‘experience’ our learning we were so lucky to introduce in Reception some eggs in an incubator. We watched the chicks hatch and grow. Red and Blue class were a fabulous team and took great care of them!
2 Red have shown how mature and sensible they are during PSHE recently. We had great discussions about secrets and also about our trusted adults, knowing who are our closest trusted people and when to seek support from these people.
As part of our jubilee celebrations we have been creating our very own profiles of the Queen. We have filled them with all things British to celebrate her 70 years as our monarch. I think you’ll agree they look amazing!
Don’t forget it’s our Jubilee Coffee morning in the school hall at 9am tomorrow.
