Bugs!

We hope you all had fun at the carnival last weekend; the children were a wonderful sight in their customised t-shirts and head wear! They worked very hard in class creating them.

Our last half term is upon us and our new topic about mini-beasts is well underway! Reception class have been very busy creating bug hotels and searching for mini-beasts around the outside area. They have learnt about the life-cycle of a butterfly and explored the concepts of both halving and symmetry. They have also participated in lots of interesting group discussions about where they would fly to if they were a butterfly. Some ideas included flying to Africa, going up to space and visiting family in other European countries.

In RE this week, we learnt the story of The Good Samaritan and acted it out in groups on the outside stage area.

Next week, we will be learning about worms and other creatures that live under the ground. We will also be focussing on the story ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson.

Have a lovely weekend,

The Reception Team
