Reception at sports day

What a fantastic sports day we've had.

We have taken part in the egg and spoon race, bean bag throwing, sprints and relays!!

Sports week in reception

What a fun sports week we have had!! We have practised our bean bags throwing in preparation for sports day.

We have learnt how to play dodge ball. And had so much fun!

We learnt some golf skills. Throwing instead of using clubs though, as they were too big. We had to throw the ball to hit the target using as few throws as possible. 

We had a mini Olympics course with year one. Doing space hopper races, bean bag throwing, hula hoop spinning and tennis ball bouncing.

And played a fun and active game if bench ball, with a few twists to the rules!

Whatever Next!!

This week we have been reading the story 'whatever next'. 

We have studied the characters and the sequence of the story. We have written book reviews explaining what the story was about and written about our favourite part in the story.

We have made rockets in our creative and construction areas too. Here are just afew...

New little kittens!!

Someone in Reception has got some very exciting news to share....a new little kitten called Sparkles - he's so cute!!

Beanstalk update....

Back in April studied the book Jack and the Beanstalk and we all planted beanstalks. We watched them grow over the five weeks in school then at the Easter holidays the children took theirs home to see how they'd continue growing there. 

Now in June we are getting some updates...Asmaa's beanstalk is growing huge, with lovely white flowers on the ends. Well done Asmaa it looks great!!
