The children in Reception have been working hard to complete their Christmas crafts. They have followed instructions, used lots of different materials and different methods. They are looking forward to sharing their crafts with their family at home!
We had so much fun at our Christmas party! We sang, danced, played games and loved eating our party food.
We have been making Christmas star biscuits. We have talked about each step using words such as first, then, next, after and last. We have ordered pictures of ourselves making our biscuits.
Reception have been learning all about fire safety and keeping warm in the winter. They took part in a workshop where they lit their own fire and then toasted their own marshmallows. They used their toasted marshmallow to make a delicious smore.
This half term we have been learning all about Space. We started off by finding out which planet we live on, planet Earth! We used Google Earth, found Harton Primary School and zoomed all the way out until we were in space. Look at our amazing Earth paintings. We included land and sea.
Good morning Reception!
We have some super activities for you to do at home today with your family. We hope you enjoy completing them!

This week we are exploring shapes with four sides! We are looking at squares and rectangles and discussing their properties. Can you tell your adult that squares are special rectangles? They have four straight sides, that are all the same size! They also have four corners. Can you tell your adult about rectangles? They have four straight sides, two are long and two are short. They have four corners, the same as squares.

We had so much fun raising money for Children in Need. We found out all about the charity behind Pudsey bear, came into school in our own clothes, loved our Pudsey biscuits and took part in lots of Pudsey activities.
Today we held our annual Remembrance Day commemoration. Children across the school have been learning about Remembrance Day and every child made their own poppy. The poppies were displayed around the school. Here are some photos of our beautiful poppies.
Reception have loved learning about our REAL LIFE SUPERHEROES! The children are really proud of their poppies. They look super!
In reception we have been learning about an artist Wassily Kandinsky. After observing his work, we designed our own ‘Wassily Kandinsky’ paintings using circles and a variety of different colours.
We had so much fun!
