Reception have enjoyed learning the history behind Chinese New Year and how it is celebrated. The children have enjoyed joining in with lots of activities such as learning their birth year, using chop sticks and making lanterns.

We have been exploring the mass of items from around our classroom. The children have been able to explain how they know if an object is heavier or lighter by whether it goes higher or lower on the balance scales. We have also been able to use the star vocabulary: heavy, heavier, light lighter.

Reception have enjoyed visiting the forest for the first time in 2026. The sun was shining and the children explored all of the climbing equipment, built dens and made mud soup. It was lovely to see all of the children cooperating and enjoying the fresh air and nature :)

Thank you so much to all who attended our Christmas songs and crafts. The children worked very hard to learn their songs and we have had a lot of fun singing them each day. We are definitely getting into the Christmas spirit :) The craft session went very well. All the adults and children got stuck in and some beautiful crafts (and treats to eat) were made. We are so proud of each and every child!

Reception had a letter from Stick Lady Love to tell us that Stick Man is lost. We decided to search inside our forest to see if we could find him. We have not managed to find him yet, however we have been enjoying the story and we have made ‘Lost’ posters that describe him in the hope that he will be found soon!

We are excited to share that Wodensfield Primary School took part in the  Adoption@Heart Countdown Quilt Project !

This is a wonderful opportunity for the children who contributed to see their patch in real life! More detail

We really enjoyed our first ‘Read with parents’ session. It was a lovely opportunity for parents to share a book with their child and to join us in our classroom. If you could not make it this time then please join us in the future. This will be every Tuesday at 2:55pm :)

Reception F have enjoyed learning about Remembrance Day. We have learned why it is important to remember, how we remember and we also enjoyed making poppies. The children were very good at participating in the silence this morning and understood why we did it. Please take a look at our floor book pages to read some of the quotes from the children.
