What a busy term we have had! Here are just some highlights from our first term at Mission Grove! 

 

We started off getting to know our new peers and exploring our new classroom. We took some first day at school pictures which I hope parents will cherish. 

                                

                               

See more of these lovely first day pics in the Reception Photo Gallery here. 

 

We have been really enjoying visiting the Music room to enjoy the variety of musical instruments. We often visit the music room to hang out, dance, sing and make as much noise as possible. Here are a couple of pics of us enjoying various musical instruments. 

  

  

 

We have also been learning about the different kinds of emotions we show. We talked about how to help ourselves when we are feelings certain emotions, such as sadness or anger and who around us we can go to for help. Here are a couple of pictures of us trying to display different emotions. 

We have also been enjoying plenty of cooking activities. We started off by making some healthy pizzas. We talked about the different kinds of veges we wanted on our pizza. 

We also focussed on the story of Pumpkin Soup. The story is all about 3 friends who get into a bit of an argument which causes their favourite Pumpkin Soup to taste very bitter! So we focussed on sequencing the steps to make Pumpkin Soup, and then gathered all the resources.

Here are some pictures of us preparing our soup ingredients. 

 

We finally got to cooking our Pumpkin Soup! We got a nice hot bowlful of Soup and a warm slice of a breadbun. 

 

 

 

 

And that's a wrap for our first term at school! We have had a wonderful time, made some great friends and have learnt loads of new things! 

We hope you have a lovely half-term break, and come back energetic and ready to learn next term!
