World Book Day in Reception

10th March 2019K Meads

World Book Day!

Everyone dressed up as their favourite characters on Thursday! We took part in lots of reading challenges such as: reading each day, drawing book covers, painting settings, creating characters and sharing a book with someone new. Year 1 children shared books with Reception children in our reading area and discussed their favourite stories and why. The children really enjoyed reading with different children. Reception visited our new school library with Miss Taylor and explored the new books. They loved finding a story and reading it in a cosy area. What a fantastic day!

Chinese New Year

27th February 2019K Meads

Kung Hei Fat Choy! (Happy new year)

Reception have been learning all about Chinese New Year. They tasted a range of foods such as: noodles, prawn crackers, sweet and sour sauce, plum sauce and rice. We really enjoyed singing our happy new year song in a different language and we made dancing ribbons to perform a celebration in the hall. They wrote about the year in which they were born from the Chinese zodiac calendar. The children learnt they were either born in the year of the snake or horse.  We enjoyed learning how to paint different Chinese symbols to represent animals and numbers. We then used these to make lucky money envelopes.
