Reception – What have we been doing? (04.2011)

This term the children and parents in Cubs Class have been enjoying special music and song sessions. We have been learning how to play new instruments, play with words and sounds and thinking about high, low, loud, quiet, happy and sad sounds as well as making patterns that repeat. To further enrich learning the children have helped to set up a music and sound making den in the Early Years Garden which also incorporates our theme called Little Pig, Little Pig… based on the stories The Three Little Pigs and Little Pig Is Flying (BFI film short).
As part of this theme we have made wanted posters for the big bad wolf, searched for numbers that he huffed and puffed and hid at The Spinney and investigated how to make a pig fly (I bet you didn’t know that pigs could fly!!!).
Next term the children will be thinking about all things ‘Spring’ in our theme called Baby Animals – this will be made really ‘egg’-citing with the arrival of an ‘egg’-stra special surprise delivery that will hatch out during the first week in May!
Many thanks to all of our families for the great work they are doing at home with jolly sounds books and reading as well as enjoying story sacks and writing in take home Ted’s diary. An extra special thanks to Donna Smith and Matthew Goring for looking after Dottie the chicken on her extended holiday since we lost poor Lottie the chicken. And another huge thanks to Mrs Cole and Mrs Jones for coming in to share some special individual reading time with the class every week. You are all twinkling stars!
