What happened when a dinosaur visited reception?!

As part of our dinosaur topic, a real dinosaur came to visit! The children were very excited and they had lots of questions to ask....

As part of their literacy work, they then had to write their questions. 

Our minibeasts topic

This week we have started our topic about minibeasts, so today we got creative...

We made butterfly cakes

We went on a bug hunt to see where insects live...

We decorated our cakes...

And we had lots of fun eating our Cakes! 

The children also made some wonderful insects using clay! 

Learning outdoors

Today hedgehog class have been making the most of the beautiful sunshine! We used our problem solving skills to empty and fill different sized containers

We experimented with instruments to make music

We worked with friends to make patterns and shapes

The children chose an animal and their own materials to make collages. They explained how they made them and their reasons for this 

The children worked together to make Miss Glover a new house and described the shapes they had used!

They did lots of cooking in our mud kitchen 

And they practised their throwing skills to score points 

Sport relief!

On Friday, our Hedgehogs took part in running a mile for Sport Relief. We have some very talented runners in this class!

Leo was our fastest runner who completed the mile in 11 minutes, well done Leo! 

Rehan came second...

And Kian came third...

Trip to the Sea Life Centre!

To help with our topic, 'Pirates and under the sea,' we visited the Sea Life Centre. Our little Hedgehogs were so well behaved and found out so much more about what lives in the water.

World Book Day!

It's been a brilliant day celebrating World Book Day! Fantastic effort Hedgehogs! 

We spent the afternoon sharing our favourite books with our friends...

Making book marks...

Painting our favourite characters...

And making up our own stories...
