We have had a lovely final week of the spring term in Reception, full of creativity, reflection and learning.

In Drawing Club, we focused on the story The Odd Egg by Emily Gravett. The children enjoyed talking about how Duck’s egg looked very different from the others and made predictions about what might hatch. The children used their drawings to represent characters and some great imaginative ideas related to the story and confidently explained their ideas.

In Maths, we have been looking at more complex repeated patterns. The children made and identified patterns using colours, shapes and objects, and explained how the patterns repeat. We also looked at patterns in our environment.

We spent time learning about the story of Easter, discussing its meaning and the changes that happen during spring and the children enjoyed participating in some lovely Easter activities in the classroom.

Following on with the children’s Sunflower collages, the children evaluated their work, talking about what they liked and what they would change next time. Their collages were then used to create a bright and cheerful classroom display for everyone to enjoy.

We had a wonderful visit to the forest on Wednesday and planted some wildflowers. We look forward to watching these grow over the summer term.  

Thank you for your continued support.

We wish you a restful and happy Easter break!
