Jelly Babies challenge!
This morning, the children in F2 took part in a Jelly Babies challenge. To begin with, we learnt all about baby Lucy (our classroom pretend baby) and what she might need to live. The children were very good at sharing answers and ideas. For example, bottles, dummies, grown-ups and cribs! The children were then set their own challenge of looking after their own jelly baby. The challenge was to keep their jelly baby safe all morning and before lunch we would look to see who had kept their baby safe!
Some of the children gave their baby a name. We had Steve, Watsy, Greyson and Rosie to name a few! The children enjoyed making beds and homes for their jelly babies, taking them on walks around the classroom and keeping them warm in their hands or pockets. Some children wanted to eat their jelly baby very quickly! It was lots of fun. At the end of the morning, the children who had kept their jelly babies safe all went into a jar and one name was drawn out to get a prize out of our class prize pot.
Our Jelly Babies finalists and winner!
P.E. and gross motor development
We are really enjoying our P.E. sessions on Wednesday mornings. We have been playing lots of listening games and stopping and starting games. We also got to pretend to be jungle animals this week. We had to move around the hall thinking about how the animals move. We finished off with some parachute games.
Provision fun!
We have had lots of fun playing in the provision this week. The children have enjoyed exploring in the home corner, water trays and painting! We are really enjoying getting to know each child and seeing their confidence grow now they are settling into school.
Our first week!
We have had a fantastic week in reception getting to know all of our new children. They have settled into school extremely well and have been working really hard at following our new routines. We have played lots of getting to know you games, and we are starting to see their wonderful personalities shine!
