Reception – Autumn 2
Week 1
Once upon a time!
This week we started our new topic ‘Once upon a time’. The week started off with listening to our new core text ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’. The children enjoyed listening and joining in with the story, making porridge and creating new chairs for baby bear.
The children also learnt a little about Diwali, the festival of light. They have been busy making diva lamps, Rangoli patterns using familiar 2D shapes and retelling the story of Rama and Sita.
Week 2
This week we the children have enjoyed another familiar traditional Tale- ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. Through the story they created story maps drawing pictures of what happened in the beginning, middle and end, making baskets to carry 3 pieces of toy food, a repeating pattern blanket to cover the food and baked cupcakes.
The children also learnt about what is a habitat and looked at pictures of different habitats. In maths they have been finding out and representing numbers 4 and 5.
Week 3
This week we the children have enjoyed another familiar traditional Tale- ‘The Three Billy Goat Gruff’. Through the story they drew pictures of the troll and wrote about what he would do after he fell in the water. The children came up with some fantastic ideas. Their letter formation is improving each week which is lovely to see. The children enjoyed building bridges in the construction and junk modelling area.
We also spent time to find out about Remembrance Day, Odd Sock Day and Children in Need.
