In Reception we have a weekly ‘Play Projects’ session that allows the children to learn and experience new artistic and creative skills. The skills we learn in Reception are built upon as the children move through the school. Our aim is develop self-organised, resilient learners who are able to adapt to different challenges and situations. This journey begins in Reception! Today we learnt how to use a hole punch and a split pin to make a moving part.

Today, we were applying our skills of tone, line and texture in order to create high-quality pencil drawings of the anatomy of the heart.

***Bookings are live for our October half term***

In Reception we use Drawing Club as the vehicle to develop the children’s writing skills over the year. At the start of the year, as the name suggests, we begin to develop our children’s fine motor skills by drawing pictures from the text we are exploring that week. This week we drew bears from the story of Goldilocks.

Today we worked collaboratively to accurately measure temperature using thermometers. We had a mix of cold, room temperature and hand hot water. We made Somme great predictions and recorded our results thinking about fair testing and variables. 

Today in English we shared our sun print instructions to our peers. We identified what we were proud of and what we would like to improve on. 

Well done year 3 😄
