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!

The caterpillars have arrived!
We have been reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar and are so excited because we have our own caterpillars in class. We are going to watch them grow from tiny caterpillars into big fat caterpillars (just like in the story), and then watch as they form their cocoons and then.....emerge as butterflies! We are going to take a photograph every day to put on the website so that the whole family can watch their progress. Enjoy!
We enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year. We did Chinese writing, made animal masks, retold the story of the race, made Chinese lanterns and tried some Chinese food - fortune cookies, prawn crackers and lychees.
Celebrating Chinese New Year
Share a story week: celebrations
We enjoyed well-being week. We listened to the story 'I want my hat back' and made hats for the bear as he lost his! We also drew our favourite part of the story, and made a scene with all the characters. Helen, the cook, talked to us about healthy eating and made us a healthy pizza wrap to taste and Jack played parachute games with us.
Well-Being week
Going on a shape hunt!
We have been learning about how to be healthy. We made a healthy lunchbox, sorted food following the 'traffic light' system, made a healthy plate of food with playdough, and talked about the importance of exercise. We also looked closely at some fruit and vegetables; we drew and painted them and also had a taste! We hope you enjoy looking at our photographs!
