Outdoor Learning
Reception enjoyed a wonderful Outdoor Learning session this week, where they planted sunflower seeds. Before getting started, the children carefully went through the instructions displayed on the board, learning step by step how to plant their seeds correctly.
They discussed how to take care of their plants, including the importance of watering them every few days and making sure they have enough sunlight to grow strong and healthy.
The children are very excited and can’t wait to see their sunflowers begin to grow! This hands-on experience helped the children understand why planting is important, including how plants grow and the role they play in our environment. It was a fantastic learning opportunity, combining science and responsibility.
Sculpture Week
During Reception Sculpture Week, the children first revisited their understanding of what art is and showed great enthusiasm for learning a new art technique. They explored sculpture through junk modelling, playdough, and plasticine before creating their final sculptures using clay. Linking to our recent topic work, many children chose to make animals. The children were extremely proud of their finished sculptures and enjoyed talking about what they had created. They demonstrated perseverance as they overcame challenges, such as joining different parts together, using the techniques they had been taught.
