Reception News & Ducklings

What an exciting few weeks in reception!

 

We had a delivery of eggs and very quickly we saw some cracks appear. Within a couple of days we had some little birds hopping around. Reception learnt the difference between ducks (webbed feet and a round beak) and chicks (pointy beaks and pointy toes) and they were excited to discover they were little ducklings. We had great fun looking after them, cleaning the cage, having cuddles, and even watching them swim in the water tray. 

 

Our fantastic strawberries have grown, and the children have worked hard to take care of them and watch them flourish. 

We have been working hard on our writing, thinking about letter formation, using our phonics to sound out, and making sure we always use finger spaces.
