The Nativity

This week we have been practising our Nativity play and we are so excited to have you all to watch us on Tuesday. We have been learning about the people in the story and what happened through our play and other activities around the classroom. We have used the small bricks to build a stable, set the scene with some pictures and used some little play people to act out the story.

Phonics assessments

This week, we are completing the Autumn 2 phonics assessments. We have been so pleased to see how much progress your children have made with their phonics. They now know lots more of the phase 2 sounds and lots of us are now blending really well. The thing lots of children found tricky in the assessment though was the tricky words. Here is a video to practise the tricky words at home with your child. Thank you.

Reception- Cold Weather!

We have been embracing the cold weather in Reception. We went on a wintery walk around the track and looked for frost and ice and have explored our Reception playground. The children found their toys had been frozen in the water! We decided we needed to design our own hat, gloves and scarves to keep us warm. Here are a few of our designs.

Reception Paper Chains

This week, Reception had the Las Posadas box. We decided to make feathered paper chains to represent the dove of peace.

We had feathery sticky fun making them.

Funky Fingers- Reception

We have already had 2 weeks in our Funky Fingers after school club and exercised our fingers a lot! we made some lovely scrunched tissue paper pictures last week and this week turned an empty toilet roll into an alien or monster (there was also one princess as well.) It was quite tricky cutting the hair but we did a great job of it.
