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.
A big thank you to Reception parents for coming to our Phonics Cafe. It was lovely to see how excited the children were to show off their phonics skills!
As part of our Personal Development Day, Miss Hussain talked to us about her religion. She shared a lovely story ‘The Proudest Blue’ and explained that wearing her hijab is part of her faith and that she wears it to cover her hair, neck and ears. We learnt that Muslim women wear a hijab and men wear a turban or hat when praying and that they pray 5 times a day. We talked about how important it is to respect one another and celebrate our differences. We loved trying on hijabs and learning about Miss Hussain’s faith.
Today in our secret garden session Reception explored conkers. We looked at how they are hidden in spiky shells. We used real hammers to remove them from their shells. We discussed our safety rules first by using two hands and also protecting our eyes with safety glasses. Reception listened and everyone was very sensible. Well done Reception.
