We have had a fun packed few weeks in Reception. Last week we wrote our first sentences about toys. We remembered to use capital letters, full stops and finger spaces. This week we have been reading 'The Gruffalo' and 'The Tiger who came to Tea'. We used puppets and toys to re-tell the stories and made masks. The highlight of our week was celebrating 'The Chinese New year'. We had such an exciting time making lanterns, building the Great Wall of China outside and dancing with the dragon.

Our traditional tale this week is 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. The children enjoyed making their own puppets and acting out the story in our puppet theatres. They have also loved making play dough trolls and giant cardboard trolls. We were very impressed with their artistic skills, which they showed in their story maps. They have also been very creative about designing bridges using a range of indoor and outdoor resources. Hopefully the troll will not break their bridge......

We love making friends in reception!
