Week 5
Sam Plants a Sunflower
Reception enjoyed looking through this non-fiction book by Axel Scheffler and the National Trust. Sam loves big, yellow sunflowers and decides to plant his own seeds. We watched the seeds grow and loved the big sunflower pop-up surprise at the end. Reception used the helpful tips to plant their own seeds and write instructions.

Whatever Next!
Reception have enjoyed a space themed week inspired by the Jill Murphy story “Whatever Next!”. The children used props to act out the story. We have been practising how to use a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop when writing sentences.

The Planets
Reception listened to the opposing music compositions Mars and Venus from Gustav Holst’s “The Planets”. We moved and drew shapes in response to the angry and then relaxing music.

Little Red Hen
The children have enjoyed looking at the journey that the 'Little Red Hen' took to make her delicious bread. To show the children the process of making bread we turned our classroom into a bakery and made our own delicious bread buns using yeast. The children discussed if they would have shared their bread with the characters in the story.
Week 1
Spanish Day
We celebrated Spanish Day by coming to school in red and yellow clothes to match the Spanish flag. The children chopped up fruit to make a Sangria drink for snacktime, it was delicious! We also learned some flamenco dance moves. OH LAY!!!
