 This week the children in Reception have had some very special visitors.  Two police oficers visited the children, they spoke to them about their job and how they help people.  The children asked questions, tried on real police uniforms and had the experience of going inside a real police van.  We even listened to the loud sirens! R.F - "I have seen the police before when I went to a funfair. The police man was on a horse." A.H - "I liked it when the police officer put the sirens on. It was very loud!"

 Please enjoy this video of our weekly update! This is something new we are going try do each week to explain what is happening in school and what the children are learning.  See below our pictures from baking bread! The children loved it and were fantastic at kneading the dough!  Spring 2 week1

 This week in Reception, we have been learning all about Chinese New Year.  We read the Zodiac Story and spoke about all the different animals that crossed the river.  We have also discussed the special traditions within Chinese New Year, including why red is a special colour, what food is eaten and how people celebrate.  Within continuous provision the children have created their own Chinese Dragons in the creative area, written cards in the Writing area and have explored representing chinese numerals in the Maths area.  🐲

This week the children have continued learning all about animals from around the world. We have been reading Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae.  The children discovered facts about giraffes, painted their own giraffe using their colour mixing skills and created a repeating pattern giraffe in the creative area.  🦒🦒🦒
