Autumn 2.
Reception Class have continued to impress us in Autumn 2! We have been delighted with how they follow school routines. Everyone is trying so hard with their learning and making fantastic progress!
We started the term with a wonderful week celebrating Diwali. We learnt all about how and why Diwali is celebrated. We created some Diwali pictures, made our own Diya lamps and did some fun dancing.
In addition to this, had an exciting visit from the Gingerbread man. We learnt the Gingerbread Man story through the Talk for Writing approach. We enjoyed bringing the story to life through the use of actions and props. We received a message from the Gingerbread man asking for our help and we came up with some fantastic alternative ways for him to cross the river.
In the next part of the half term, we looked at toys from the past. We investigated some toys from the past and thought about what materials they were made from and how the toys worked. We read stories linked to toys and painted pictures of toys from the past.
We have ended our half term with our lovely Christmas performance. Everyone tried so hard to learn a variety of different songs including actions. We are so very proud of how well they performed the songs to their grown-ups. A wonderful experience for all!
In Maths, we have looked closely at shapes and angles. We enjoyed talking about the properties of shapes and finding angles within shapes and around the classroom. We looked closely at numbers 1-5 and practised our fantastic subitising skills. Everyone has really impressed to impress us, and we can’t wait for next term!
