Parachute games in Reception

This week we have been working together to play some exciting games using the parachute. We had to ensure that we were all following the instructions at the same time, so that the parachute moved in the way that we wanted it to.  

Map work in Reception

This week we have been reading the story of What the Ladybird Heard. We studied the map of the farmyard and created our own focussing closely on the farmyard features such as the pond, the barns and the fields. We think that we have made a fantastic job of it 😁

Special places in Reception

This half term in RE we are focusing on special places. The children went on a treasure hunt to find jigsaw pieces which, when put together , make a picture of Mrs Ashton’s special place at school. Can you guess where it is?
