Reception Visit Seven Stories. 

On Thursday 20th, Reception visited Seven Stories. We started by climbing aboard a huge coach which took us from school to Ouseburn. Our session started with a traditional tales workshop. Our focus was the Gingerbread Man. We found clues which served as the ingredients to our story. We eventually found the run away Gingerbread Man before colouring in our own - we created some fabulous pieces of art! Next, we created and structured our own story. After lunch, we had the opportunity to explore the various floors which led us to ‘The Tiger Who Came to Tea’ and ‘Mog’ rooms. We had one final story before heading back to school. What a brilliant day we all had. 

Delivering love

Today it was Lana's turn to share her favourite book in Honeybees class. She chose a super book for Valentine's Day called 'Light Up My Heart'. 
She explained how the story is all about showing love for others in many different ways. We all agreed with the page which said 'The best gift of all is your kindness. It's free!'
Well done Lana!

It was Makka’s time to shine in Ladybird class on Friday 14th February.  Makka presented ‘Unicorn’ to the class and explained why this was her favourite to read at home. Makka enjoys the part where the mermaid and fairy catch all the diamonds and share them with the other characters. She told us that she had bought the book whilst out shopping with her mam. Well done Makka, we loved hearing all about your book!

Matthew and Rushank shared their books during our Shiny Reading Time today.
 
Matthew chose 'The Dinosaur That Pooped A Superhero'. He explained that he loves this story because it's so funny. His favourite part is where Zap shoots lasers. This story really makes him laugh!
 
 
Rushank told us all about 'The Lion Inside' . He explained it's a story with a lesson because the mouse tries to be so brave and the lion is scared of him. 
 
Well done Matthew and Rushank! You did a great job.

It was Josie’s time to shine in Ladybird class on Friday 7th February.  Josie presented ‘The Fairytale Hairdresser and Cinderella’ to the class and confidently explained why this was her favourite to read at home. She told us that she really enjoys this book because it has princess' in, and it is a fairytale. Josie went on to explain that she had originally borrowed the book from the library but because she loved reading it so much, she bought one for herself. Well done Josie!

He told us that this book was gifted to him by his childminder who had looked after him since he was a baby. Colby went on to explain that he thoroughly enjoys identifying the house numbers within the illustrations and spotting the rhyming words. Well done Colby, we loved hearing all about your book!  We cannot wait to have a copy of it in our classroom library.

exploring energy through electricity

This week, Reception have been exploring energy through electricity. We spoke about the items in our homes and classroom which were powder by electricity; there were many! The children then took their knowledge into provision by explore different equipment which are powered by electricity/batteries, as well at non-electrical appliance/resources. The children were brilliant at categorising the items into electrical and non-electrical.
