This half term, Reception have been very busy with their crafts to develop their fine motor skills. We celebrated Diwali and Bonfire night by making diwa lamps and firework pictures. We then used printing to make red and purple poppies to remember both the people and animals that fought in the war.

In Literacy we have been reading Supertato, Handa’s Surprise and Oliver’s vegetables. We were very excited about the evil pea who kept making an appearance during lunch time. We also used potatoes to make our very own Supertato’s.

In Maths we have been ordering objects by their size and working on continuing repeated patterns. We have also been busy sorting resources by colour and type.

We enjoyed the brief spell of snow and used this to inspire our snowman pictures with chalk. We have been very busy making Christmas pictures using paint, felt tip pens and colouring pencils.
