Reception - Wonder Writers in Cherry Tree!

CHERRY TREE WONDER WRITERS! 

In Cherry Tree Class we have been working really hard to practise our number and letter writing. In our lessons we have been learning special rhymes to help us remember the correct way of writing them and have used our independent learning time to have a go by ourselves. 

Reception - High or Low?

Reception Music Lessons

Children in Reception have been looking at how music is written out. They have learnt how to read rhythms, and now are starting to explore musical pitch.

We are using Boomwhackers and bells to explore high sounds and low sounds, and looking at how written music shows high and low!

Do you think the big red Boomwhackers would make a higher or lower sounds than the small purple ones?

When music is written down, we use 5 lines called a stave. It is like a ladder. The higher up the ladder the notes, the higher the pitch. 

We also play a warm up game called the 'Elevator Song'.

Reception Readers

This week the children in Reception have been super excited to receive their Reading Folders to take home! They have had great fun sharing books in our Library with their new friends at Bannockburn!

Reception - Enjoying Christmas dinner!

This week Apple, Cherry, Orange and Pear all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas dinner. We all designed our own party hats to wear for the occasion and showed them off to one another. 

After sharing our creations, our adults all served us delicious food, which we all ate with glee. 

 

Reception - In Outer Space!

The children in Reception were super excited to visit the Space Dome! Inside we learnt about the solar system and the planets. We looked at pictures and videos of Neil Armstrong and Tim Peak on their journeys to space.

 

Reception - The Great Reception Bake Off!

This week all of the Reception classes have been busy cooking a whole manner of different space themed goodies, from moon rocks to star biscuits. We thought about the importance of washing our hands beforehand and keeping safe around cooking utensils before mixing all of the ingredients together and cooking. It smelt delicious! Afterwards, we wrapped them all up and sold them to the parents... they were gone in minutes! All in all, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
