Reception had a special delivery this week. This term the children are learning all about farm animals and their young. We’ve explored the life cycle of a Duck. The children are so excited to see what happens to our duck eggs. We will be waiting patiently for our ducklings to hatch.
The children explored the meaning behind a cold and frosty morning. The children and I filled up buckets and added water. We left the buckets overnight knowing that the temperature was going to drop. We added in some poms poms so when the water turned from a liquid to a solid, we could break free the pom poms using hammers. The children explored their 5 senses during this science experiment.
This morning the children had a great experience with making Pumpkin soup. The children used their cutting skills to chop up the pumpkin. They used their senses to explore the inside of the pumpkin once we cut it open. We read the story ‘A Pipkin of Pepper’ and for snack all the children tasted it and thought it was delicious.
As part of our Literacy programme the children will be reading ‘The Gingerbread Man’. Reception spoke about the ingredients that they would need to make a recipe. The children also weighed out the ingredients to create a perfect mixture. The children used their senses to explore the smell of the ginger and cinnamon through the mixture. During snack today Reception had a gorgeous treat and ate their baked goods.
