The children have loved our learning on Supertato.

Last week, we got to meet the vegetables that needed rescuing from Evil Pea. We designed traps and then used the resources around us to create the traps to stop the Evil Pea from causing more trouble.

We looked at a storyboard and created our own stories remembering to include who was there, where they were and what were they doing.

This week, Supertato is training the vegetables ready for their sports day...just like us!

We can't wait to see how Supertato is going to help us with our science week.

But remember, some vegetables are frozen for a very good reason, so keep an eye out for the Evil Pea in case he is causing trouble....BIG trouble.

To learn about safety when using the computer and internet, Reception covered lots of activities,

They used the beebot to practice simple programming and made 3D bees to remind us to Bee Safe when using the internet.

During guided reading, we read a book called Penguinpig, It was about a little girl who found an amazing creature on the internet and wanted to meet it even though the messages where from someone that she didn't know. We learnt that sometimes people try to trick us on the internet so to always talk to an adult if you are unsure or concerned about something you see.

We went into the computer suite and tried to design our own new animal by combining different animal using our mouse skills.

We asked the children what they would like to learn about and following the excitement of Christmas, they asked to learn more about toys.

So toy shops were created in the classrooms to enhance role play and lots of investigation started place.

This half term we will be covering what they already know about toys, designing our own toys, learning about how toys are made, looking at technology within toys, making our own toys and finally analysing different toys to see if we can make them better,

Look out for these in class!

What a bunch of star performers we have in Reception!

They all showed amazing courage and were really brave in performing their show of 'Snowman at Sunset'. There was singing. dancing and acting from all the children. They made us all very proud.

The children particularly liked the giant pop up snowman and snow machine during the performance.

We are so proud of our children and the talent that they have in lots of different areas but we were in awe of this Kandinsky inspired  artwork that they created together.

They selected their own colours and painted big bold shapes to create this magnificent piece of artwork. 

It is situated in front of the den.
