Have a look at what we’ve been learning…
Making Faces
As part of our topic ‘Me, Myself and I’, the Reception children learn the names of different parts of the body and this week we were focusing on naming different parts of the face. We made paper plate faces and drew self-portraits, making sure that we included eyes, nose, eyebrows, mouth and hair. We talked about how people can have different coloured eyes or hair and this led to discussions on how some people wear glasses or have freckles. We also talked about different skin colours and the children chose a suitable skin tone pencil to colour in their faces.
The children are good at naming different facial features and knew which materials and colours they should choose to make images of their faces.
Outdoor Fun
Reception Class spend time outdoor every day. They have lots of fun playing in the mud kitchen. The children are building new friendships as they collect berries, grass, leaves and flowers to go in the pots and pans for their muddy creations. They also enjoy mark-making with chalks and exploring with water play.
Our First Few Days
Our new starters in Reception Class have had a busy few days, settling in and becoming familiar with their new classroom and the routines. They have had lots of fun playing in the home corner, making things with playdough, building models in the art area, splashing around in the water tray and baking cookies.
