Reception 2019 - 2020

Chinese New Year

This week, we have been celebrating Chinese New Year in Reception. We have been learning all about the Chinese story, made Chinese dragons and dragon masks with a range of different materials. Today, we have tried lots of new and interesting foods such as fried rice, noodles and prawn crackers. Yum! 

Ice experiment 

Reception have been scientists this week. As we had been exploring snow and ice in our story 'Be Brave Little Penguin', we decided to investigate what happens to ice throughout the day. The children carried out their very own science experiment and made predictions on what would happen. The children enjoyed investigating a range of materials to see how the ice affected them. We discovered that ice would melt and become a liquid. We have enjoyed exploring and investigating and we may have some future scientists amongst us!

Happy 2020

Welcome back everyone!

We all hope you have had a fantastic break and are feeling recharged for the new year ahead. 

We start our term with the story of 'Little Red Train to the Rescue' where we want the children to embark on a journey of challenges for our new topic. All of the chilldren will get a 'special train ticket' that will take them to new areas in the classroom and to try new activities. 

If you have done any writing over the holidays, bring it in to place in the "Amazing writing' box. It doesn't matter what it is on or if it is topic related - we want to see you beautiful work. 

All the staff in Reception would like to thank you for the kind gifts and messages in Christmas cards that we received.
