As always, it’s been a very busy (cold!) week in the Reception classroom. From making ramps in the construction area to creating our own junk-model vehicles, we’ve had another fun-filled transport week.
Literacy
This week, we continued our transport theme by reading The Hundred Decker Bus by Mike Smith.
After reading the story, we created our own Moortown bus. We had some fab ideas: a deck with a ice cream shop, a chocolate factory deck and a deck with a gym to keep us strong! Our bus doesn’t have one hundred decks (31 to be precise) but there is one deck created by each member of Reception.

DT
This week, the creative area has been a very popular area. We’ve had lots of fun joining materials to create junk-model vehicles.
Science
In the construction area, we’ve been making ramps and watching how far the vehicles travel.
PE
This week, we continued to learn all about throwing at a target. We practised aiming at targets of different heights and distances. At the end of our sessions, we applied our throwing skills when playing partner games.
Snow, snow, snow!
This afternoon, we had lots of fun in the snow. We enjoyed making snow angels and snow people.
