Ash Class Reception Y1

We have been strengthening the muscles in our hand to help us to write. We used cotton buds and paint and glitter glue to follow the wavey, zig zagged and curly lines! 

We have some new planks of wood in our outdoor area. The communication between the children in this area today has been fantastic. They worked well in a team and created a balancing extravaganza! 

We have been learning about our body parts today! We hvae been labelling diagrams and creating bodies on the interactive whiteboard. 

Today we have used plant pots and ribbon to create a 'jiggling jellyfish'. We had to follow instructions and make decisions.

Today we have been thinking about being at the seaside, animals that live under water and things we can do with sand.

We have been learning about 'full up' and 'nearly full'! We have been thinking about the difference between them.

We have been looking at our wildflowers and describing their shapes and colours. We used brushes and paint to paint what we could see.

We have been using natural materials to make patterns we find outdoors,  This is a snail shell (spiral).

Look at our hairy caterpillars grow!  Soon we will be able to cut their hair and practise our scissor skills!

The children chose the seeds and planted their own wildflower garden.  It has already been visited by lots of bees!  

Today we have pulled up the potatoes we have grown.  They are all different shapes and sizes.  Tomorrow we will cook them and see what they taste like.
