Our favourite woodland activity this half term...

In the woodland recently we learnt about fire.

First we gathered firewood and had a go at making sparks with special fire lighters.

Then we toasted marshmallows! Yum!

We listened amazingly and followed all of the safety rules.

Fruit kebabs

We are working toward creating a no-cook meal by the end of the year.

This week we have built upon last half term's skills, levelling up to cutting and slicing!

We were good at using knives and skewers safely, as well as trying new things.

We love school! 5 weeks in 5 pictures....

Down in Reception, we have been settling in to school life for the last 6 weeks.

Making marks in sensory trays is always a hit!

Our teachers are incredibly proud of us and all the hard work we are putting in already.

We love to learn outside. Rubbing out the letters whilst saying the sound was fun!

We simply love playdough. We mixed green using yellow and green dough!

Jam Sandwiches!

This half term our food prep skills are cutting and spreading.

Went had our first visit to the cooking room to make sandwiches.

We are working towards being able to make a no-cook meal by the end if the year.

We thought they were delicious!

We're already looking forward to next time!

Music Man!

We have started weekly singing lessons with Adam the music man, who plays us instruments.

Adam shares his repetoire of songs with us. We sing and join in with actions.

One of our amazing receptions went home & wrote her own music after Adam's first visit!
