The children in Reception have really enjoyed learning about how seeds grow this half term. Using the story The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle, we talked about what plants need to survive and why some seeds don’t grow. The children then created their own Seed Survival Guides, sharing thoughtful advice on how to help seeds grow into healthy plants.
In maths, we have been working on number bonds to ten and doubles. It has been lovely to see the children growing in confidence and beginning to recall these number facts more easily.
As we approached Easter, the children learned about its importance for Christians. We explored key events such as Lent, Shrove Tuesday, Palm Sunday, and the Easter weekend, helping the children to understand the meaning behind the celebrations.
It has also been a busy and exciting half term with lots of special events. The children had great fun dressing up for World Book Day and showed fantastic creativity during the Skills Builder challenge, where they designed and made habitats for dinosaurs. This linked nicely with our engaging Science Week. On Artist Day, the children learned about Georgia O’Keeffe and created their own beautiful artwork inspired by her style.
