Reception Class News

We have had an exciting couple of weeks in Reception! First of all, we had our very own Zumba session in the hall. We danced like penguins and caught some fish!

We had a visit from the fire service. They talked to us about how to be safe and taught us that if we see some matches, we must tell a grown up straight away. Then we all got to sit in the fire engine and then had a turn of spraying the hose.

Alan the Bear has joined our class too, and he goes on lots of adventures. I wonder where he will go next week?

We really enjoyed our celebrations for Chinese New Year.  We learnt a dragon dance, made a Chinese dragon and learnt how to prepare Chinese food.  We even used chopsticks to eat it!!

On Pancake Day we learnt how to make pancakes, how to toss them and also had a brilliant pancake race.

We have been looking VERY closely at shapes...

Look at our lovely photographs of our recent trip....

We have been thinking about what we would like to be when we grow up.  We had visits from lots of exciting people - firefighters, paramedics, vets and pets people and the police.  We really got a feel for doing these jobs.

We sang 5 Little Men in a Flying Saucer and were visited by an alien. We tried to find where he had hidden and investigated space.

We sang 5 Fat sausages and made a hot dog stand. We played camping indoors and out and cooked sausages for snack on a real camping cooker.

 

 

 

We picked apples from the trees behind our classroom.  Then we made lots of delicious apple recipes like apple flapjack and chocolate apples.  We played sorting apple games too.

 

 

We have had a really busy and enjoyable Autumn Term...
