Reception Iveson Blog

 We have had a wonderful first week back and enjoyed the seasonal changes. There has been lots of discussions about snow, ice, melting and freezing.  We helped the site manager, Mr Payne, clear some of the paths by throwing the ice over the wall and we got to go sledging on the hill! 

 Reception have been enjoying lots of Christmas activities this week. We hope everyone has a lovely Christmas break!

We have loved our book of the week… Suzy orbit astronaut! We have learnt about what is out of our world in space and what are astronauts. The children enjoyed creating their own rocket ships outside, pretending to be astronauts and creating their own role plays. Next week, we are learning about dinosaurs. What do you know about dinosaurs? What happened to them?

 In Reception, we have been learning about Remembrance Day and why some people wear poppies.  The children have created some beautiful poppy art work to be displayed at the school entrance. Here is a link to the video we watched as a class to explain Remembrance day and the link to poppies: Poppies - CBeebies
