Winter

User Rating:  / 1

This week Reception have been thinking about Winter. We thought about how the seasons change and what the weather is like during winter.

In our forest school area, we thought about which animals lived in a cold winter climate and what specail adaptations they had to help them survive.

We made penguins and thought about how they stay warm. They have to keep high body temperatures to remain active. They have thick skin and lots of fat (blubber) under their skin to keep warm in cold weather.

In Maths, we enjoyed investigating and comparing quantities. We said which set had 'more' and which set had 'fewer'.

We designed bright coats to help us stay safe when it is dark so we can be seen by cars.

Stop, look and listen.

We have had a fantastic week celebrating Bonfire Night!

For Forest School, we enjoyed writing with sparklers! We thought about how to use them safely and put them in carrots so that they were easier for us to hold.

We enjoyed making sparklers to eat with melted chocolate, breadsticks and coloured sprinkles.

We used different materials to make firework pictures.

In our outdoor area, we enjoyed using marbling inks to create pictures of burning fire.

Adding the ink.

Dipping the paper.

The reveal!
