Year R
Jesus' Journey
In our RE learning in Reception, we have been exploring Jesus’ journey during Lent. After listening to the amazing Bible chapter story, ‘The sun stops shining’, we each drew how we imagined Jesus looked on the cross and reflected on all that happened to him, just before and after he died.
Chinese New Year
Reception celebrated Chinese New Year! We learnt so much about this wonderful celebration. We discovered that this year, 2024, was the year of the dragon. Throughout our week of learning, we worked in groups to paint and decorate an amazing dragon. For our final celebration, we took our dragon to the hall to do some dragon dancing! We followed this with a delicious meal.
Police Visit
As part of our ‘People Who Help Us’ topic, we were very lucky to have a visit from Sgt. Revell. He talked to us about his very important job, what he does, how he keeps people safe for us and showed us some of the equipment he has to use. Then, he let us have a look and try on some of his uniform and explore his amazing car! We also listened to the siren which was extremely loud!
Awesome Autumn
We went on a walk together to find signs of Autumn. Not only did we find some beautiful autumn leaves that the wind was blowing around, we also found some clues to a story which we shared later in the day, called ‘Tidy’. In the story Pete the badger tried to tidy the forest from all the falling autumn leaves!
Class Worship
We shared a beautiful class worship and silently had our own special time to talk to God.
Flying Kites
After sharing the story ‘Titch’ by Pat Hutchins, we designed and made our own beautiful kites to fly. We were very happy with how fast and high they flew!
Handa's Surprise
After sharing our class story, ‘Handa’s Surprise’, we practised balancing quoits and beanbags on our heads, trying to be just like Handa carrying the basket of fruit to her friend!
