Election Day

We have been talking about the general election happening and what it is. We even talked about the word 'democracy' and found out that it means everyone can have a say in who leads our country. We then had our own vote in class - not for a leader but for our favourite minibeast! 🐌🐜🐝🐞🐌. We each had a voting paper and had to put one X next to our favourite ( without anyone else seeing our vote), and then post it in the ballot box. When we had all voted, the teachers tipped them all out of the box and we sorted them into piles for each minibeast vote. We counted them up and found out that in both R1 & R2, a butterfly is the favourite minibeast winning majority of the votes. 

Minibeasts🐛🐌🕷🐜🐞🐝

We have started our new topic ‘Minibeasts’. We looked at some pictures and watched some videos of minibeasts and labelled parts of an insect (we learnt some new vocabulary: thorax, antennae and abdomen). We also wrote some speech bubbles for minibeasts! We then made a long list of all the minibeasts we knew and are looking forward to finding out some facts about them so we become minibeast experts! 🐛🐌🕷🐜🐞🐝

Our new class visitors - Caterpillars🐛🐛

We are very excited to welcome some new visitors to our reception classrooms, Caterpillars. As part of our minibeast topic we are going to watch them grow and change. We learnt a new word too - 'metamorphosis'.....we are going to keep a careful eye on them take lots of photos as they change and transform. 🐛

The Caterpillars are now beautiful Butterflies...

The reception children had a lovely surprise this week,  our chrysalids were empty and we had 5 beautiful butterflies in the butterfly net. We had a good look at them and then took them outside and let them fly away - goodbye butterflies!
