This week, we have been looking at the story ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’.

We have tried different vegetables to see what we liked-spinach was very popular and we all enjoyed the way that beetroot turned our hands pink.

Outside, we made a vegetable patch and talked about which way we should plant each vegetable looking closely at whether they grow under or on top of the soil-we loved the messy fun.

After a super first whole school church service for our Reception children, we were quite hungry. We had our usual fruit snack but also enjoyed trying some hot cross buns. We talked about the cross on the top of them and sung the song too.

This week, for one of our class assemblies, we read the story ‘Chicken Clicking’. We talked about the things the chicken shouldn’t have done-ordering items online, using somebody else’s money and not asking if he could use the laptop. We also discussed the three key pieces of information you should never tell someone-your name, your age and where you live/go to school. The children listened and joined in very respectfully and their discussion afterwards showed that they had gained a lot of knowledge on how to stay safe online.

This week, we have been making our Easter cards. We have been practising our cutting and using our fine motor skills to pull cotton wool apart. We think you’ll love them when we bring them home next week.
