We continued learning about Chinese New Year in our Literacy today by acting out The Great Race!

We have really enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year this week. We decorated our home corner, learnt how to use chopsticks and about all the different traditions. We found out we were all born in the year of the snake or the horse!

Today we had a special visitor to our class, a dental nurse came to tell us all about going to the dentist and how to look after our teeth.

Thank you to Lois and her family for treating the Everywhere Bear to a weekend of festive fun!

We learn so much when we're in the mud kitchen, this morning a group of children worked together pretending they were on a television cooking programme! They made a bean soup with a side of bread or toast, it was delicious! 

Today we started learning our letter sounds. The first one is 'S' and we will be learning 'a', 't' and 'p' this week too. We have tried hard to sort and find objects beginning with 's' and we have tried to write the grapheme. A great start Reception!
