Blog Update: Reception Class
This half term our IPC topic is ‘Bears’. We are learning about bear toys old and new, real bears and where they live in the world and exploring the traditional story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears.
For our Entry Point we hosted a Teddy Bear’s Picnic for our favourite furry friends! We were very busy the week before writing invitations and shopping lists. Look at our wonderful writing!
On Monday 6th November the big day arrived! We all came to school with our bears. There were all different kinds of bears and some were small and some extremely big! Jean-Seb came to visit us and he brought Noutou, his special bear that he has had since he was a little boy. We loved listening to Noutou’s adventures, hearing how he had been lost and found and checking out his repairs from over the years.
We were very busy during the morning preparing for the picnic. Elysa helped us to make Teddy Bear Paw Biscuits and we learnt how chocolate melts when heat is applied. The biscuits were delicious!
We also practised our fine motor skills as we buttered the bread for our sandwiches. We chose our fillings and decided whether to cut the sandwiches into triangles, rectangles or squares. The sandwiches were delicious too!
After lunch we made some Teddy Bear decorations and then we settled down for our picnic. It was snowing outside so we had to have an indoor picnic but it was still lots of fun. We think our Teddy Bears enjoyed the day too!
