Strange object found!!!

There was a strange object found on the field outside the Reception Class today. The grass was all black and scorched and in a big hole in the middle was a mysterious object. The object was shiny and silver but looked like a rock. It had strange wires sticking out of the side of it. The children in Recepetion class all had a good look at it and thought about what it might be and where it might be from. The children decided that it must be from space as there are no rocks like that on our planet. Some suggested that it might be a moon rock that had fallen from the moon last night. Someone also suggested that spacemen may have dropped it from their spaceship. We will need to find out all about space and the moon inorder to work out what it might be.

This week (3rd Feb)

Reception class have been busy bees this week. We started to think about vets and how they are a bit like doctors but they look after animals. This led us on to thinking about animals and what we knew about them. The children started to consider if they could match baby animals to their adult counterparts, which was fascinating, though some of the children found frogs/tadpoles a little confusing! We also looked at the similarities and differences between animals, deciding which animals were the best for certain jobs. We decided that a dog would make a good pet as it is cuddly and soft, but a shark would not be a good pet as it might eat you!

Another key area this week has been addition. We began to look at the language of addition and how we can record that by writing a number sentence. It is only early days but the children are showing a lot of promise

Police

We also enjoyed a visit from a police officer. PC Greenwood visited us from Killingbeck Police Station. She told us all about being a police officer and we asked lots of questions. She showed us her handcuffs and her notebook and torch. The children all enjoyed trying on her helmet. We made handcuffs out of card and decided to make our own police station!

Nurses.

We recently had a visit from a nurse, to tell us all about people who help us. We enjoyed asking questions and weighing and measuring each other. We decided to turn our role play area into a hospital.
