Reception Iveson Blog

 Reception loved their visit to Hesketh Farm last week. We experienced a tractor ride around the farm, cuddled guinea pigs, prepared milk and fed the lambs and calves, collected eggs from the chicken coop and explored the amazing play area.  We had a fantastic time! 🐮🐷🐑🚜🌞

  Reception have loved exploring and observing our caterpillars this week.  We have been learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly.  Ask your child what doe a caterpillar make before it turns into a bu tterfly? 🦋🦋🦋

 This half term Reception have been learning all about growing and planting.  The children enjoyed planted their own beanstalks.  We discussed as a class how to look after them, and we have been watching them grow!

 Reception have enjoyed reading Jack and the Beanstalk.  The children have been immersed in lots of different engaging activities within provision. Take a look at what we have been up to!

 Reception enjoyed baking their biscuits. The children read a recipe as a class and wrote down how much of the ingredients we needed.  The children followed instructions and practised their measuring, rolling and mixing skills. 

  Reception enjoyed walking to our local shop to buy ingredients to bake with. We discussed how to stay safe when crossing the road, wrote a shopping list and spoke about money.  . 

  Through our understanding the world learning, Reception have been exploring life cycles. We have been learning all about chicks and their life cycle and reading non-fiction texts. The childre n have been learning new vocabulary such as brooding, clutch and hatched.  🥚🐣🐥🐔
