In Reception, we have been learning about other faiths including Buddhism, Sikhism and Hinduism.

We know that Buddhists are devoted to Buddha. We also learnt about meditating and we were able to gather together and meditate. Please see the videos below of us meditating:

Reception had an absolutely amazing time at the pantomime. They laughed, sang and danced all the way through Cinderella.

Well done to Reception for their fantastic performances this week. The children were absolute super stars and we are so proud of them all.

Miss Cunningham’s Reception class had so much fun at the EYFS co-ordination challenge at the Urban Factory. They demonstrated a range of fantastic skills including balancing, jumping and throwing.

On Tuesday, our little scientists in Reception carried out an experiment. They made predictions about which materials would have the greatest effect on melting ice. The children discovered that vinegar and sugar DO NOT make ice melt but salt and hot water DO make ice melt. Well done Reception!

The nurses came to visit us. They talked to us about two very important things.

1) How to wash our hands.
We listened to the story ‘Hey Duggee – The Handwashing Badge’ and it told us how easily germs can spread. We then learnt a song to sing whilst we wash our hands.

2) Keeping our teeth clean and healthy.
We know that you need to brush your teeth twice a day and should drink at least 6 cups of water. We explored different food and liquids which are healthy and unhealthy.

In expressive arts and design this half-term, we have been looking at mark making. This week we have been looking at marks in nature. We explored the texture and lines in leaves and made our own leaf prints using wax crayons, paint, ink and printing in play dough. We had lots of fun.
