Week Beginning 4th July 2022

We continued with our learning about mini beasts and focussed on making different ones like caterpillars,snails and bees to mention a few. We also learnt about bees and how they make honey so some of us made and ate honey sandwiches. The children said " it is very sweet".  "I like it". We had other children say " I don't like honey because of the wax that covered the honey is not good" They were able to give reasons why they did not like honey .This showed that they listened and understood the process involed in making honey. We used hexagons to make patterns, counted the number of mini beasts we could see. We even went on a mini beast hunt in our outdoor area and in our mud kitchen we made sweet treats for the adults in school. Finally we did some independent writing about bees.

 Reception this week was full of interesting activites we learnt facts about ladybirds which we are very good at. Ask  the children any time because they made mini booklets about the life cycle of a ladybird. We were lucky to have some of the parents come in and take part in our learning during the week. We also made wanted posters for the two robbers from our story who escaped from jail. If you do see Hefty Huge or Lanky Len please let us know. We wrote about the different things we could find on the farm as well. We made some of the animal homes for the animals on the farm in our story.

We also did other interesting things this week .Here are some pictures of the other things we did.

We also had a fantastic time extending our learning in our outdoor area. The children really engaged in their learning and lots of language was heard. The children in the sand pit were having a party and they were talking about decorating the table for guest. The children with the  construction parts talked about how their two headed monster on the beach who could fly high and had wings. The children in the tunnel were laughing as they went in and out of the roller coaster. We had children cooking vegetables for a teacher as a healthy meal. The children on the writing table were drawing rainbows and talking about the sunny weather. They all had a really good week.
