What a busy half term it has been in Reception! The boys and girls have got stuck into our Space topic over the last few weeks and have been working hard.
We thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Whatever Next’ by Jill
Murphy. After this we went on our own ‘moon walk’ outside and created some
wonderful transient art with the space sticks and moon rocks we found outside!
Then we all sat down to a picnic on the moon just like Baby Bear in the story.
Lots of the children loved trying the real space ice cream
and thought it tasted like, “marshmallows”, “chocolate mousse” and “cream”. 
One of the most exciting things to happen to us was finding
Zap the alien who had crash landed in our outdoor area. No one quite knows
where he has come from but we have all decided to take good care of him while
he is on planet Earth. The children will take it in turns to bring him home and
to ensure that everyone is able to do this, he will stay with each child from
Monday until Friday or Friday until Monday. I have been assured that he is
fully house trained and makes a wonderful guest!
The children have been exploring texture and colours and
have created some fantastic moons and planets which you will see in assembly
this Friday.
In addition to this the children have been learning about
money and everyone had the chance to be a real shop keeper last Friday during
our bun sale! This week the children will be able to go shopping in Reception
Bargain City (a one off pop up shop!) and spend the money they are given in
their lucky envelopes. We are very excited about this.
I am also so pleased with how hard the boys and girls are working during phonics sessions and lots of them are practising their skills by reading their school books at home with you. Keep up the good work everyone!
