Reception

What an exciting week in Reception where we have been visited by some magical elves!  The elves left a sewing kit for us to make our own puppets.  They warned us that sewing was tricky but we have been so resilient in both threading the needle and creating stitches.

We have been learning about the different ways some Chinese families celebrate Lunar New Year.  We cleaned and decorated our classroom, found out more about this special celebration using non fiction books, created our own dragon dances and tasted some Chinese food.  

This half term we have created our own sculptures inspired by the work of Barbara Hepworth.  We have worked our muscles hard by shaping and cutting clay using a range of different tools.  When the clay was dry we applied different coloured glazes too.

All children in Reception enjoy Balanceability lessons throughout the year.  These sessions support our listening skills, core strength, balance, spatial awareness and resilience.  We love them!

We all had a fantastic time during our trip to Twycross Zoo.  We saw lots of different animals and learnt about a range of habitats around the world.
