We have been practising our use of line and shape in art this week, by drawing polar bears using our observational skills. We started with a small circle in the middle of the page to create the nose, and then worked our way out, adding further circles for the head, eyes and ears. We drew curved…

Today in history we learned about what The Crystal Palace was and what you could see if you visited The Great Exhibition as well as who could go and visit. We used our iPads to record our answers. 

This week we have been tracing around different shapes. We have then practised forming the shapes independently. Our pencil grips have improved so much since September and our control with a pencil is always improving.

Today the children have been comparing the Arctic and Antarctic to the UK. We discussed the climate and how this is different along with how people travel around in the polar regions compared to how we travel in the UK. We love geography in reception class!

We had the best time going on the minibus to the park and then…

Today we had lots of fun listening and responding to music. We also enjoyed playing and performing using the nots c, d, e. 

Today we made our sandwiches for the Teddy Bears Picnic. We washed our hands and talked about the importance of this, chose our fillings and then used the knife to spread and cut, developing our fine motor skills. 

It was super fun and they very very tasty!
