Reception RE: What is Prayer?
Reception class explored the "Chatterbox" with lots of items connected to prayer. They learnt that prayer is talking to God, a bit like using a phone or writing letters to our special friends. They discovered prayer beads, prayer books, pictures of Jesus and prayer mats that can help with praying. They also thought about how they would make themselves still and quiet to pray to God.
Reception Class - PE -
Reception started their PE lessons this week, and we began our new Get Set 4 PE unit - Introduction to PE.

Once we had done this, the children used their imagination, pretending to be witches and wizards, moving around in different directions, trying to avoid obstacles.
Year 1 PE lesson: Balancing and Stability
In their PE lesson Year 1 learnt about how they can balance and make themselves stable whilst jumping. They pretended to be frogs jumping on to lily pads and learnt that they could use their arms to balance themselves. Through bending their legs and swinging their arms they were also able to jump much further.
Nursery - Science - Scattering Wildflower Seeds
We took some inspiration from this week's story and decided to scatter some wildflower seeds! The children loved shaking the seeds into the soil and made some predictions about what colour they thought the flowers would be once they grow. The children used gentle hands to rake the soil and have worked hard watering our seeds. We will continue to take care of them and hopefully, in spring, our wildflowers will bloom and brighten up our flower bed! We can't wait to see them grow.
Reception Class - Computing
As part of our settling in week, the children have been exploring the different challenges set on the interactive board! The children have been developing their motor skills and their hand/eye coordination.
