Our bodies & Our senses

Over the past two weeks we have been learning about Our Bodies and Our Senses. We labelled our body parts and played a guessing game. We had to look carefully at photos and work out who they were. Can you do it?

We also went on a Senses Walk, we had to use our sense of touch, sight, hearing and smell to describe the autumnal objects we found. When we got back we used or sense of taste to explore jelly. We watched Ben & Holly's jelly flood on TV, it made us laugh!

Afterwards we looked through the digital microscope at they objects we found. 

We have also been looking at shapes. We focused on the properties of 2-D shapes. Circles, rectangles, triangles and squares. See if you can help your child find these shapes when you walk to school. We found lots in our classroom. 

We have also been continuing to be 'Good friends'. Look how nicely we play! 

Our Names

This week our focus has been Our Names. We have been learning to recognise and write our names and getting to know our friend's names. We have enjoyed CIL (Child initiated learning) indoor and outdoor and have been focusing on being good friends. Here are some pictures of how we played kindly: 

Our First Week

Welcome to Reception

The children have had a lovely first week. They have enjoyed exploring the classroom and making new friends. We celebrated their first week with a party. We danced to the Hokey Cokey and other songs. I hope you liked our party hats.
