We went on a walk around the village to find signs of Spring in the environment. We collected objects and took photographs. We painted Spring pictures.






We had a story about Pirates and went on an imaginary journey in our pirate ship.We made a pirate ship outside then wrote some stories about our adventures on the high seas !







Reuben's mum gave us some tadpoles for our classroom. We learnt about how they change into frogs. We made a pond in our water tray, sequenced pictures, made frog masks and had lots of fun acting out rhymes and songs about frogs .





Learning in the Reception Class

Mrs Jones gave us a sound or a blend and we had to draw a picture showing that sound or blend.


We played hopscotch to spell out a word.



We learnt about the life cycle of a butterfly and had fun making masks.

Look at some of the things we do in the classroom.
