 Last week, our book of the week was a traditional tale ‘The Little Red Hen’. In the story we learned how corn is harvested into flour and used to create bread.  With our new knowledge, we baked our own bread rolls with the help of Miss Pardoe! We weighed, measured and used the correct ingredients and got to work using our muscles to knead the dough.  They tasted delicious!  We also completed some Little Red Hen printing and writing. Well done Reception! 🐔🐔🐔

 In Reception, we felt the love on Valentine’s Day! We made lots of Valentine’s crafts including cards, collages, pictures and letters for our loved ones.  The children loved discussing who is special to them, why they love them and pretending to create their own play-dough chocolates! ❤️  

 We had a fantastic walk up to Clayton Woods from school. The children took part in a range of seasonal activities including nature hunts, making animal habitats, making nature portraits and bark rubbing.  The children absolutely thrived and loved exploring what Clayton Woods had to offer. We can wait to return in Summer to see more seasonal changes! 

 In Reception, we have been learning all about the Lunar New Year. During child led learning we have completed lots of engaging activities linking to the lunar new year and we have been learning all about the year of the snake. 🐍🏮
