We have had a thoroughly productive week in Reception during Discover & Do. The children have enjoyed linking their learning to topics and stories discussed in class, including autumn, hedgehogs, and numbers 1, 2, 3. They have enjoyed art activities linked to Yayoi Kusama and today were introduced to the work of American artist Alma Thomas. Below is a selection of photos from Discover & Do time.
The children continue to look after our outdoor area
The children continue to use the buckets, spades and sieves to play in the sand
The binoculars have been out for the children to look for signs of autumn
The children have used the leaves and natural things they have found to make all different sorts of delicious things in the texture kitchen. our sheep are particularly well fed!
There has been lots of mark making and writing
The farm shop continues to be profitable!
So much small world imaginative play providing rich language opportunities
Children expressing themselves using musical instruments on our stage
Balancing, travelling, hanging – building strong muscles and movement on the climbing equipment
Alma Thomas inspired art in the creative area
