Welcome to Reception

Autumn 1

Topic - Ourselves

We have continued our understanding of the world topic learning all about ourselves.

This week we have explored the body; we named all the different body parts and discussed what we need to keep our bodies healthy.

We all had a go at crafting our own person to make it look like themselves.

Drawing Club

We have continued to focus on our emotions this week.

We have been discussing the feelings of being jealous or worried. We spoke about what we could do if we were feeling like this to help us feel better.

We had a go at drawing our very own colour monster going to school, we thought about what he might do at school and how he might be feeling.

Can you play I spy and find things around your house that start with these sounds?

We created our own rainbows using our fine motor skills and dabbing inside the lines to create a rainbow pattern.
