Week 7
We spent our final day in RZ having a party! We made the most of having an empty classroom due to summer decorating!
Enjoying a last day dance!
A visit from Mrs Jones who taught us how to prepare yummy ingredients to make our own Rainbow Veg Paella!
We made a list of all our favourite things to do, and spent the week enjoying ourselves doing the things we love with our friends!

As part of our RE learning about special places, we have been learning about Hindu Temples / Mandir. We know there are many Gods and Goddesses, decorated with beautiful flowers. We made our own flowers to add to images of the Gods and Goddesses by scrunching the paper.

We had fun making magic potions. We described the objects we found for our potions and used our imaginations to think what magic would happen.
We are learning about adjectives to describe things. We played I spy to describe the fish in our story, then on an adjective adventure outside to describe what we could see. When then had a list of all the adjectives we could think of... what superstars!
In the theme on fish, we had a go at holding a real fish... a herring. We discussed what we knew, watched a video find out more and then added adjectives to describe how it looked, felt and smelt! The children then created excellent drawings of fish.
Week 3
We’ve been making our own boats!
We have been exploring the artwork of Henri-Edmond Cross. We discussed the idea of a “method” and how this is the way an artist creates their art. Henri’s method is to create tiny dots of colour. We identified ways we could make tiny dots of colour, finding sticks and turning the paintbrushes upside down. We practised painting tiny dots ready to apply the skills tomorrow.
Week 2
All aboard RZ Airlines!
The History of Flight... making flyers just like the Wright Brothers!
Fathers Day cards!
Forest Thursday Fun with 2M!
The children were very excited to hear the organ!
Patricia taught us all about why the church is a special place for Christians. Merle, who has been coming to St Mary's since she was only 4, told us why St Mary's is special to her. Patricia showed us a special cross, and let us go on a cross hunt around the search... there were so many! She reminded us the cross is a holy symbol to Christians as it reminds them that Jesus loves them. She also lit a candle and explained that this represents Jesus' light and guidance. She read us a Bible story and prayer.
The children were a credit to Pendle during our Church visit - all superstars!
All aboard the holiday bus! Where shall we go today?
Week 1
A busy term already!
Exploring in our wonderful wildlife garden.
In Music, we have been exploring action songs, discussing why actions are important to help us learn songs and to help deaf people understand what the song is about. We learned that Makaton is like a special language of actions. We watched the Signing Hands song below without any sound and watched the signs to help us predict what the song was about. We then listened with sound and joined in with the actions. We then made our own actions for “If you’re happy and you know it.”
We are “I can see sentence experts!
Hand printing to create a seascape!
Some excellent artists showing our class value, creativity!
We spoke about different places we have or could visit on holiday! We then looked at different holiday posters and then focussed on using the question hand to ask questions about holidaying there. We then used the question hand to help us ask each other questions about holidays.
We have been practising our recall and recording skills within addition.
In Magic Maths, we have been introduced to a Rekenrek. We have been representing numbers, and using the two rows to solve addition problems.
We are focussing on growing and changing within PSED this half term, and began by recapping how we change as we grow and what we are able to do as a baby, toddler and child. We then wrote what we would like to do when we are a grown up!
Sharing and writing about our holiday news.
We love a busy classroom! It has been so busy today with the children ready and raring to begin our final term in Reception!
