Today we continued to make fairground rides using our Lego. We found out about electric cars and how they work. Then we used our Lego to make electric cars and ramps for them to travel down. We used our six bricks to make a tower, balancing our Lego bricks carefully.
Today we have used our Lego to make fairground rides with moving parts. We have been investigating the energy story in our own community and finding out about the different jobs of people who work in the supply of energy. We had lots of fun making our own electrical items and powering them with our wind turbine!
Today we continued to use Lego to explore energy. We made power stations and kitchens to use the energy. We drew objects in our houses that use electricity and use the Lego to build some of the objects. We then had a challenge to use the Lego to build a bridge across the river.
Today we explored renewable energy and looked at the different energy sources in our community. We then had lots of fun using ‘Steam Park’ and ‘Superpowered’ LEGO to build a range of energy based objects.
Here are some photos of our exciting day!
As part of our ‘How Livings Things Grow’ topic, Reception visited Hall Hill Farm. We saw and fed many different animals. We went on a very bumpy tractor ride and even milked a cow! We had a fantastic day!
This week in Reception, we have been investigating shape. We used shapes to explore composing other shapes and making models.
Today we celebrated the coronation of King Charles. Across the school the children have been finding out about King Charles and the history of coronations. We came to school dressed in red, white and blue then had our own coronation party!
This week in Reception, we have been learning about the coronation of King Charles III. We took part in activities covering many areas of the curriculum.
In History, we learned facts about King Charles and found out what a coronation was. We watched the coronation of the King’s mother, Queen Elizabeth II.
In Literacy, we wrote facts about King Charles.
In Geography, we learned about the commonwealth and looked at the commonwealth countries on a map.
In Art and DT, we made decorations for our classroom and designed flags to represent all of the commonwealth countries. We even had a go at drawing King Charles!
In ICT, we used Google Earth to look at Great Britain and the commonwealth countries. We were very excited to see our school!
Reception had a special visit from Zoolab. We listened to the story ‘We’re Going On An Animal Hunt’ and learnt interesting facts. We sat patiently and quietly to stroke and hold each creature. Look how brave we were.
In Reception we have been learning about the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh. We explored his work and loved his painting of ‘Sunflowers’. We then became artists painting our own Sunflowers. Look at our fabulous work!
