We have had an eggcellent time in Reception preparing for Easter. We enjoyed tasting hot cross buns, making Easter cards and going on Easter egg hunts.
Mondrian inspired art - In maths we have been learning about squares and rectangles. As part of our learning, we looked at the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian and made our own artwork inspired by him. Piet Mondrian is best known for his abstract paintings made from squares and rectangles. He often used primary colours and did not use a ruler to measure out the lines. Take a look at our AMAZING art!
Diwali - We have had great fun this week learning all about Diwali. We made our own Diya lamps, rangoli patterns and flower garlands. Ask us about what we can remember about Diwali and how it is celebrated.
This week we have been learning all about how and why we celebrate Bonfire night.
