Reception had so much fun dressed up in their spooky costumes. They did loads of spooky crafts and finished off the day watching a film with a drink and a biscuit.

This week in reception we have been reading ‘The Gingerbread Man’. Today in class we have made our own Gingerbread Men. We measured the ingredients, mixed them, rolled out the dough, cut out our own Gingerbread man and then we used icing to decorate it.

To mark World Mental Health Day, we all dressed in yellow to show our support. We discussed why being kind to everyone is so important. We coloured some pictures and gave them to our friends who are kind to us.

This week in reception we have been exploring simple patterns, copying and continuing simple patterns and creating simple patterns. Today Reception have made a fruit kebab, making their own pattern.

Reception really enjoyed multi skills this week with the coach. They played lots of fun games!

Reception enjoyed visiting our parish church of St. Mary’s. We talked about baptism, and they took part in role play to explore the different parts of baptism. Reception enjoyed their visit to church and were excited to find out more about baptism.
 

This week in RE, Reception have been learning that God made each one of us and we can be part of his family through baptism. We prepared snacks together as a way of taking care of ourselves, because we are special.

Reception have really enjoyed their first week at school. They have settled into their new routines and have enjoyed making friends.
