Reception
In Phonics, we have been learning lots of new sounds. We have used these to hear sounds in words and even write them down!
The Colour Monster. In Reception we have been looking at the Colour Monster by Anna Llenas. We have done a few activities in relation to the story.
For our Autumn Term One Art project, we learnt about Wassily Kandinsky. He was a famous Russian artist, known for his abstract art and love of painting colours, line and shapes to express his emotions. We chose to focus on his famous painting of circles.
In our 'Road Safety' assembly, we learnt lots of ways to be safe when we are out and about on the road. We now know that we have to hold an adult's hand and make sure we are furthest away from the road dangers we could face, learnt about using a zebra crossing, and how to cross the road safely.
We had a great time on our walk. We enjoyed talking about autumn and all the signs of autumn. We remembered our road safety rules.
We read the story ‘The Gingerbread Man’ and we thought we had to make our own gingerbread men! We measured our ingredients, mixed them together and backed them in the oven. Thankfully ours didn’t come to life and run away!
In PE this half term we have looked at movement. Here we are practising different movements including ‘bear crawl’, ‘worm’ and ‘gorilla walk’.
In Maths, we have been learning about numbers to 10, being about to subsitise them and see parts e.g. 1 and 4 is 5. We have also had a go at writing them in a sum. We have also thought about numbers that are more or less than a given number.
In our ‘Understanding the World’ topic we looked at ice. We discussed how to make ice, how it feels and changes. We also had lots of fun and ended up with very blue hands!
