🤸‍♀️🕷️ Reception PE – Gymnastics! 🕷️🤸‍♂️

On Wednesday, we began our new gymnastics unit, also known as Spider-Man training! 🕸️

Our focus was on jumping and landing safely. The children explored different styles of jumping and had lots of fun practising each one.

I was so impressed with the fantastic skills they demonstrated, their enthusiasm and the way they took turns so sensibly, showing great patience and encouragement towards one another.

🌉 🐟 Friday PE with Connor consisted of the children pretending to be ‘Bridges and Fish’. The children had to demonstrate balancing in different positions and moving through the bridge in different ways. 🌉 🐟

🌳🔥 Reception's Forest School Adventure! 🔥🌳

Reception had another fantastic adventure at Forest School this week!

There was lots of excitement as Gav made a fire for us to watch. The children were fascinated as the flames changed into different colours as the fire burned. What a magical sight! 🌈🔥

We also enjoyed feeding the ducks 🦆 and playing a fun game of hide and seek with our friends.

🔢🌟 Reception have been exploring the number 5! 🌟🔢

This week, we have been developing our understanding of counting, ordinality and cardinality, with a special focus on the number 5.

We enjoyed singing the rhyme '5 Peas in a Pea Pod Pressed' 🌱 and used lots of practical resources in the classroom to explore the number 5 in different ways.

The children worked together and investigated how we can make 5, what it looks like and the different ways it can be represented. We practised counting carefully, recognising quantities and understanding that the last number we count tells us how many there are altogether.

PT 2 🧙‍♀️✨ Winnie the Witch has been inspiring our learning! ✨🧙‍♀️

The children have been enjoying reading Winnie the Witch and taking part in some magical activities!

🧦 We put our creative skills to the test by designing Winnie a brand-new pair of tights, using repeating patterns to make them bright and colourful.

🎩 We also made our very own witches' hats, practising lots of new skills along the way! The children carefully cut around an outline, curled paper into a cone and created a flange to help attach the cone securely to the hat.

✨ To finish, we added a touch of magic with glitter, feathers and sparkly sequins!

We are so proud of the children's creativity, perseverance and the fantastic new skills they have been developing. What a magical time we've had! 💜

🎆 Reception have been exploring Bonfire Night! 🎆

We started by listening to the story of Guy Fawkes and learning a little about why we celebrate Bonfire Night.

Then we got creative! ✏️ The children used pencils to design their very own colourful firework pictures. We also headed outside to explore tempera paint, creating exciting firework splats and patterns. 🎨✨

We are so excited to share that we have started our supervised toothbrushing programme at nursery this week! 😁🪥
The children will now be brushing their teeth once a day here at nursery, alongside their usual twice-daily brushing at home, helping to develop healthy habits and keep those little smiles bright! 🦷
The children have been doing absolutely amazing each day this week, and it has been so lovely to see them getting involved, learning and enjoying their toothbrushing routine. We are so proud of them!
The children have also come home with their own toothbrush packs to keep at home, so they can continue practising their brushing and keeping their teeth lovely and clean.
A big well done to all our little super brushers! We can't wait to see those beautiful smiles continue to shine! 🌟
