Reception class blog

Last week, Reception class read the story ‘The Enormous Watermelon’ and acted it out to one another. They also used story sacks and puppets to perform their favourite stories, including ‘The Three Little Pigs’, ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’.

Reception class were also learning about height last week and had lots of fun measuring different things. The children compared objects to see which were taller and which were shorter, and also recorded and compared their own heights using chalk on the wall in the playground.

During a music lesson, Reception class used different instruments to help them perform the story ‘Jessie’s Flower’. The class worked well together and made some nice sounds. They also looked at changing sounds by making them faster, slower, louder and quieter.
