Marland Hill Community Primary School
Together we will achieve more!
Year Group Focus: Reception
Our topic this half term has been ‘Machines’ and we have been learning all about different machines and what they do. The children made their own inventions in the outdoor area and at our junk modelling station. They have also been busy fixing lots of broken machines in our role play area. The children have really enjoyed learning about different construction vehicles this week. Talk to your child to see if they can tell you the names of any of the machines that you would see on a building site.
We have also been thinking about things that we like and dislike and how it is ok to like different things. Connecting to this, the children were able to make sandwiches and decided which filling they would like out of three choices: jam, marmalade and soft cheese. The children loved spreading the butter and filling, cutting the sandwich in half and most importantly eating the sandwich.
It is a very exciting time in Reception at the moment as we are getting ready for the Christmas Concert. We are busy rehearsing, by doing lots of dancing and singing and we can’t wait to see you on Tuesday 17th December to show off our amazing talents.
