Classes

Reception

: It’s bonfire night! Look at our super chalk firework pictures! Reception class also made some paper rockets by drawing round some 2D shapes and cutting them out.

: Reception Class have been thinking about ‘day and night’ at school. We looked at a painting called ‘Starry Night’ by Van Gogh. The children then tried making their own versions. They mixed paint with flour and glue to make a very think mixture. Then they used their fingers to paint, mix and create their own starry nights.

: Wow! Said the Owl – We have been reading this lovely book by Tim Hopgood. The children in Reception made their own paper bag owl puppets to help them retell the story. Twit-twooo!

: Do you like soup? Reception Class listened to the story of ‘Stone Soup’. They then wrote their own shopping lists and made some soup of their own to eat. Mmmm – delicious!

: More shopping lists.

: Did you know that mice can fly? Well they can in Reception Class!! We each made a paper mouse and put it on top of an empty plastic bottle. We then squashed the bottle really quickly and our mice flew – whoooooosh! The children then all wrote instructions for how to make a rocket mouse. Super!

: The Man on the Moon – we have been learning all about space in Reception Class. We read a super book by Simon Bartrum all about ‘Bob’ – the man on the moon. The children then all dressed up as astronauts and pretended they were on the moon. They wrote a speech bubble to show what they might say. Lots of them could see aliens!!

: Making 10. We have been learning which pairs of numbers make 10. The children made beautiful flowers using 10 petals and then wrote the two number sentences to go with it.

: Our first art work in Reception Class – the children painted their hands and then printed them to make little ducks. They then added feathers and an eye. Beautiful!

: ‘Huff and Puff’ paintings: We read the story of The 3 Little Pigs and then created some pictures with runny paint. We used a straw to ‘blow’ the paint around the paper – just like the Big Bad Wolf!

: Meet our teddies: We have been starting to learn some letters. When we learnt the letter ‘t’ we all brought our teddies to school. We told our friends something special about them and then used chalk to draw a picture of them. We learnt how to smudge the chalk to make it look like fur. How cute!

: Pumpkins on display

: We looked very carefully at the pumpkins in our classroom and then painted beautiful pictures of them. Some had stripes and others had spots. Some were all orange and some had green and yellow on them too.
