To explain the changes that happen in Winter
In this lesson, Reception learnt about the different features of Winter. We identified ways that the world around us has changed and thought about why these happen. We discussed things that we could see outside in winter. We talked about the colours of the season and created a drawing of things that we would see on a winter walk.

At 11am on 11th November, we will be remembering those who died during the First and Second World Wars, and subsequent conflicts. This week in Reception we have been discussing conflict and thinking about those people who serve our country today and have served our country previously.
As part our our discussion, we looked at the poppy. The red poppy symbolises remembrance, hope for a peaceful future and commemorates the soldiers who fought and died in war. Poppies were chosen as a symbol because they often grew in the battlefields after the soldiers stopped fighting.
Reception have completed lots of activities this week based on the poppy and Remembrance Day.

As part of our science topic, Reception have been discussing and exploring wind. We talked about what causes wind and that wind is the movement of air. For our mission today, we made our own windsocks. The windsock can be used to help us see the direction of the wind and gauge the wind‘s speed too.
