Reception - Maple Class

The Reception children all came home with a Big Bug Hunt sheet on Friday. The bugs to hunt can be found in The Intu Victoria Centre in Nottingham. The bugs are very impressive and there are lots of facts to find out about each of the bugs. Happy hunting. Please send in any photos of the bugs you find. 

This week the children were inspired to write and make their own magic potions.

On Wednesday the children used lots of fixing and fastening skills to turn their designs into fantastic robots. They used many of our keys to learning by being creative thinkers, self managers and team workers.

As part of our topic this half term we are finding out about all sorts of technology. Next week we plan to set up a workshop in the classroom where the children can explore/tinker with old phones, radios, chargers, etc to stimulate discussions about how they work. If you have any old technology that you would like to donate to us we would be very grateful. 

On Wednesday we have planned a DT afternoon where we will be using junk materials to make our own class robot. Again, if you have any suitable materials you ready to recycle please send it into school.

Many thanks 

Mrs Ingle and Mrs Mellor
