Ice lollies!

What a hot day it was today! 

We made ice lollies to help us cool down...can you tell an adult how we made them - use the pictures to help you remember. 





What happened to the water when we put it in the freezer? How did it change? What happened when we left the chocolate in the sun? Why did it change?

Dancing Raisins

Do raisins float or sink?  Can we make them dance? What happens if we put them in fizzy water? 





Can you remember why the fizzy water made the raisins float and dance around? Why don't you comment below and tell us! 

What has been your favourite water investigation this week?

Fantastic Fun at Sports Day

RECEPTION FITNESS FUN


What a fantastic Fitness Week we are having so far in Reception.  We have enjoyed taking part in lots of different activities ... learning how to salsa, playing passing games and having some 'wacky races'!.  We have been having lots of fun and keeping healthy too!  Look at the photographs of us enjoying ourselves. We are looking forward to boules and mini-golf later in the week too!

Here we are filling out tally-charts to find out our favourite ways to exercise.  What exercise do you like to do the best?

 
 
Salsa Superstars!
 

 

 
We have made a track in our learning garden and have been
practising how to race really fast!
 
 

 
Some of us built an obstacle course outside and
we climbed and walked across it - we needed to be good at balancing!

Fitness Week - Salsa!

Wow we have had so much fun today on the first day of FITNESS WEEK! 

This afternoon we had a go at salsa dancing...



We enjoyed it so much when we came back from our workshop we chose to carry on salsa dancing in our 'get busy' time - We organised ourselves into partners - some of us even made salsa costumes! We loved moving to the music!

ICT superstars!!

This week in RL we used a program called JIT to make beautiful pictures. We were challenged to write  a sentence about our picture. I had my socks blown off by your typing skills - *you were all superstars!*





Can you remember which button on the keyboard makes a space between the letters? How do you get rid of a letter you don't want? Why don't you comment below to practise your typing :)

Making Waves!

We loved dressing up as pirates as part of our new topic 'Making Waves'


We have had a great time this week adding and subtracting with Pirate Pete's treasure...Can you remember the different strategies we can use to add and subtract? 


We love singing along to this pirate song in the mornings. Why don't you practice at home. Can you think of your own pirate saying at the end?
