Reception - RG

As part of Mental Health Week we started each day with 5 minutes of yoga .  Our favourite pose was the 'downward dog!'   We also put on our wellies and went out for a 'walk and talk' round the field and quiet garden.   We celebrated Chinese New Year on Monday with lots of different activities and a Chinese New Year Party in the hall. In the morning we made Chinese lanterns and money envelopes out of red paper as red is a lucky colour. We also made dragon masks and Chinese New Year cards for our friends and family. In the afternoon we went into the hall and tasted some Chinese noodles and prawn crackers. The crackers were definitely our favourite! Afterwards we danced to some Chinese music with Chinese ribbons and a dragon came to visit us! We were very excited!

We have had lots of fun playing musical instruments to the tune 'If You're Happy And You Know It' and 'Wind the Bobbin Up'    We are also making musical instruments out of junk materials. We drew our instrument first then used our drawing to select the materials we needed to create our instrument.  In PE we have been learning how to balance on the bench. We had to really concentrate whilst walking across the bench and then jump off and land safely.
