Reception Willow really enjoyed our stay and play session on Friday. We had lots of fun taking part in 'bonfire' themed activities and definitely enjoyed getting messy! Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to share the children's learning experiences with them.

 For our 'fabulous finish' to the 'Little Red Hen' topic we made bread just like the red hen did  in the story. As well as making it, we got to choose a topping for it and thoroughly enjoyed tasting the finished result!

This week in Reception the children have learnt about Diwali. Diwali is the festival of light, the children have enjoyed making diva lamps, decorating Rangoli patterns and painting mehndi patterns on hands.

To round off our topic about ‘The Little Red Hen’ , a real hen came to visit us in school! It was lovely to meet her and  she was very well behaved. We enjoyed learning about what she likes to eat, where she sleeps and how noisy she is. She was really friendly and even let us stroke her.  A big thank you to Mia’s Mom and Dad for bringing her in to visit us and we hope that she enjoyed it as much as we did.

Reception have thoroughly enjoyed learning the story of the 'Little Red Hen'. We have acted out the story using finger puppets and masks. We have explored farms and looked at the role of a farmer. This week we particularly enjoyed making red hens using playdough, and making the 'Little Red Hen' a new house using the 2D shapes. We will finish our topic by making bread just like the Little Red Hen did in the story!

Reception Willow have completed their first Cojo challenge. Every few weeks Commando Joe sends us a different challenge to complete and this week it was all about 'Sophie Self-Awareness'. We had to complete an obstacle course blindfolded, whilst one child at the front gave us instructions. We learnt important skills such as: working as a team, thinking about others and most importantly not giving up when things become hard! Commando Joe has also given us a class bear. Each week a child who has worked hard is chosen to take the bear home for the weekend.
