Happy New Year from Reception!

Children came back to school with lots of enthusiasm and we enjoyed catching up on all our holiday news and events.

The highlight of the week must, of course, be the visit from our canine friend – Eddie.  Ms Fenn backed a bag for Eddie to share with us so that we could talk about how to care for our pets.  We took turns brushing his soft fur whilst Eddie was very obedient.  Then we got to take him on a walk to the field.

We have also been very busy exploring technology and programmable toys such as beebots.  We practiced programming a beebot around a grid map. This inspired us to create our own stories and beebot mats.  We worked in teams to think of our characters, a storyline and drew our own illustrations to include on the grid.
