Reception -Icicles
Welcome to Icicles
Welcome to Icicles
We hope you enjoy looking at what we get up to in our class and following our learning journey. We are all very excited to be at school and are enjoying finding out and learning lots of new things.
We are Icicles!
In computing we have been sorting and classifying.
'Living' and 'Non-Living' - we have been finding out what make something living and sorting things using the criteria. We also moved like lots of different living animals.
We had a great day making soup in DT. We learnt how to cut the vegetables safely with a knife. We all tried the soup and it was very tasty!
This week we have been manipulating shapes - learning how to rotate and turn shapes to make different pictures.
This week in art we have been learning different ways to join materials. We used glue, tape, cutting, paper clips and split pins.
This week we started our Science work about 'Our Beautiful Planet'. We looked at 'natural' and man-made' things and then went outside to explore the natural world with our senses - looking at what we could see, hear and smell.
We have loved learning to use our Beebots this week - programmable robots. We learnt how to make them move using the arrow controls.
We had fun this morning on our Easter Hunt. We followed clues around school and at the end we all got a chocolate bunny lolly! This was also part of our PSE work about following instructions - we did really well working out and following the clues.
Science Fun - The 'Big Bad Hairdryer'!!
World Book Day - We had great fun reading all through the day. We loved the Year 6 children coming to read to us! The video of us performing 'Aliens Love Underpamts' can be seen in the video section of this website!
We have designed and made boats as part of our DT work - we did a great job!
We have designed animal sculptures, made them from clay and then painted them. We used our designs when painting to make sure we used the correct colours.
Exploring Maps! We enjoyed looking at and talking about a range of maps. We then drew our own maps using a part of a map as a starting point.
Giving instructions to help our blindfolded friend in computing activity
We have been enjoying the continuous provision in 'The Curriculum Hub' - this week we have been thinking about how we travel in our local area and why Darlington is so important in the history of trains. We have also been exploring magnetism.
