Butterflies and Dragonflies News
W/B 25th November 2024
In Reception this week we have been learning about four sided shapes. We have looked for them in our everyday life and made them using different objects. We have identified rectangles and squares and counted the number of sides and corners and even had a go at drawing them in the style of the artists Mondrian and Kandkinsky

This week the Butterflies and Dragonflies have been finding out about poppies. They have painted them using different techniques and watched the CBeebies animation for their learning in English. This has helped them to understand why poppies are so important in Remembrance Day.

Reception were lucky to have a visit from 'Little City' this week and the children absolutely loved it! It was lovely watching their imagination unfold, laughter filling the hall and huge smiles across their faces. They have also been learning about Remembrance Day and created some wonderful pieces of art.

As part of our English work this week we have been writing group poems about fireworks. We have been impressed with the language choices the children have used to describe the fireworks. We have also been completing mixed media firework paintings which look wonderful and talking about being safe around fireworks!

This week the reception children absolutely looked cooking scrambled egg as part of their English learning. We have been concentrating on the story 'The Little Red Hen' and have been learning about the life cycle of a hen. When cooking the children took turns to add, crack and mix the eggs, watching carefully as the egg started to change. There were some great 'Granny Fantastic' words were being used, such as 'steaming, bubbling, boiling, crusty, delicious, set, and cooling'.
W/B 7th October 2024
In our English work this week we have been learning the story of 'The Little Red Hen'. We have been drawing pictures of the farm animals and adding a label using our increasing phonic knowledge. We are so proud of the improvement in the children's writing!

Reception have had a really fun active week making lots of different things relating to patterns which is linked to their learning in Maths. The children loved making their own fruit Kebabs and natural crowns incorporating repeating patterns.
W/B 23rd September 2024
This week we have been enjoying our outdoor kitchen. The children worked with the staff to update the area, moving furniture and organising and labelling containers to keep the different natural materials. As you can see, the children have really been enjoying making potions, stews and soup using conkers, pinecones, leaves and pebbles!
W/B 16th September 2024
In Reception this week the children have been focusing on the topic 'All about me'. In Art we used natural resources that the children collected from the Forest school and used salt dough to create themselves. We all discussed the similarities and differences between us and what features we had. The children absolutely loved it and created some beautiful pieces of art, even adding hairclips and eyelashes!
W/B 9th September 2024
This week during our outdoor learning session we were looking for objects that were the same. This linked with our Maths learning too. We described them to our friends and explained how they were the same e.g. the same size, colour, pattern, shape etc
