Diamond Class

Winter 

We have loved learning all about winter. The children have thorougly enjoyed making their own snow. We mixed lots of different ingrediants together to see which one made the best snow. 

The children thoroughly enjoyed discussing how it felt and how it smelt! The shaving foam was a big success! 

Welcome back! 

Welcome back Reception after a lovely Christmas break! 

We were welcomed back to ice and snow! We went out and investigated the different sizes of ice as well as the different shapes!

We felt the ice and we could not beliebe how cold it was! Some of the children decided to go into the mud kitchen and make ice tea and ice coffees! 

Come and have a look at what we have been up to.

EYFS Christmas Party

Reception had so much fun at their Christmas party yesterday. We played musical statues, corners and had a competition to see who was the best dancer. 
 

We also had a special visitor from Mrs Clause. She was so kind and brought us presents from the North Pole.

We had so much fun! 
 

The Story of Jesus

This week in reception we are learning all about the story of Jesus. We learnt that he is the saviour of the world and this is the reason why Christians perform a nativity at Christmas time. The children drew a picture of the nativity scene and we talked about why they drew it. The majority of our reception children drew Jesus. They said that he was the most important person in the story. 

Making Four

Today we looked at different ways of making/arranging four. With the help of numberblocks the children were able to understand different ways four is arranged. We now know that 3 and 1 make 4 and 2 and 2 make 4. 

We also used our spacial awareness to describe the different arrangements of four. When we manipulated the cubes we were able to say how many were on the top, bottom and side. 

Well done Reception! 

Oliver's Vegatables 

This week reception are reading 'Oliver's Vegatables.'We read the story and talked about where vegatables come from and which vegatables are our favourite. The children came up with some brilliant answers during group time and discussed that if we eat lots of vegatables our muscles will grow big and strong! 

We drew our favourite vegatables and even tried to write their names! Look at our gorgeous writing! 

We used our magnifying glasses to invesitage the vegatables to see their texture. 

Children In Need 2024

The children had a fantastic day for Children in Need! We talked about what Pudsey does for children and families who need it most! 

We worked on our cutting skills by making Pudsey masks and attempting to draw Pudsey! 

Bedtime Stories Event 2024

We held our annual EYFS Bedtime Stories event. We invited our grown ups down to share our favourite stories and got cosy in our pyjamas. Miss Knowles informed the grown ups about the importance of reading at home and how beneficial it is to share a love of reading. We had so much fun!

Outdoor Classroom Day 2024

Our reception children had so much fun learning outside for Outdoor Classroom Day. It was great to expand their learning beyond the classroom! 

We decided to take phonics outside and practice our letter formations using chalks instead of pencils! 

Some of our children enjoyed exploring our new sand pit and transporting the sand up and down the climbing frame. 

Well done Reception! 

Autumn 2 overview

The Scarecrow's Wedding

Friday 18th October 2024

Today we had our overly anticipated Scarecrow's Wedding!

We had to make sure it was the best wedding ever, the best wedding yet. The wedding that no one would ever forget! 

We have spent the last two weeks learning all about Harry O'Hay and Betty O'Barley's big day, so much so that we made them come to life. We have learnt all about weddings and the people involved in it. The children thoroughly enjoyed stuffing our scarecrows with hay and paper to make them look life like. With the support of the parents and our community we were able to give our scarecrow's wedding attire and a traditional wedding service. 

The children took part in the service by wearing smart clothes and throwing confetti over the happy couple once they were married.  

Well done to Diamond class for being so enthusiastic and respectful during the service.

Friday 11th October

We had so much fun on our balance bikes today! We pretended to be in the jungle and moved around the obstacle course very carefully. We even went over a ramp!

The Little Red Hen

Friday 6th October

This week in reception we have been learning all about ‘The Little Red Hen.’ 
The children mixed all of the ingredients to make some lovely white bread, just like the little red hen in our story! We even put on our best acting skills and acted out the story. 
 

Come and have a look at what we have been doing!

Wednesday 9th October

Reception decided to get creative during wet play time and take part in a tutorial of how to draw a dog. The best part about it was that we decided to draw on our tummies! Come and have a look at our drawings.
