December Update for Reception

December Update for Reception

Autumn 1 ‘Marvellous me’

The children all settled into their new classes fantastically. We spend a lot time getting to know the children through our topic ‘Marvellous Me.’ The children loved creating their self-portraits and talking about their Marvellous Me bags. It was a lovely half-term topic where we found of lots of information about each other.

Autumn 2 ‘Heroes’

During this topic we explored both a fantasy theme and a real-life theme. We looked at fantasy heroes and real life heroes such as doctors and firemen.  During this half-term the children also loved celebrating Diwali, and were very lucky to have a musical workshop with Earth Song. We also looked at Remembrance day, and each class made lots of poppy artwork. December was the build up to Christmas! Each class looked at the Christmas story and they were amazing performing The Nativity in front of all of the parents. We all made our own individual Christmas Cakes and enjoyed learning how to sew. To mark the end of an amazing first term in Reception, we celebrated with a Christmas party!
