Summer A

Lola Fandango

Hola, this week the children have been looking at some of the differences between England and Spain as we celebrated 'Spanish Day'. We looked at the food that is popular in Spain, where you can find Spain on the world map and we even learned some new Spanish words. 'Lola Fandango' is a story about a girl who wants to dance the Flamenco like her mam. She has secret dance lessons from her father to surprise her mother on her birthday. The children learned how to do the Flamenco to the count of 12 whilst clapping.

Week 1

This week Reception have been listening to the fable 'Little Red Hen'. It was amazing to see how hard the children have worked this week after having two weeks off. Our 'Big Write' challenge this week was to write a speech bubble for one of the animals from our story and we all did amazing!

This week the children have been investigating 3D shapes in maths. We looked at the properties that each 3D shape has and decided whether they have flat faces and curved surfaces. We also tested each shape to see if it's properties made it a good shape to roll, stack or could they do both.

Baking Bread

This week the children helped 'The Little Red Hen' make bread. The children mixed wheat (flour) with yeast and water to make a dough. Once the children had made a dough they kneaded the dough using their hands before rolling their dough into bread bun shapes ready for baking in the oven. The classroom was smelling delicious.
