Looking After Our Teeth and Gums

Reception Dental Health Workshop

Reception had a fantastic time taking part in an exciting dental health workshop with the Timperley Dental Team! The children learnt all about how to look after their teeth and mouths, including the importance of brushing their teeth twice a day, eating healthy foods and visiting the dentist regularly. We explored why keeping our teeth clean is so important and how we can develop good habits to keep our smiles healthy and bright!

This workshop supported our Early Years curriculum, particularly the Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED) area of learning. The children developed their understanding of how to look after their own bodies and make healthy choices. It also linked to Physical Development, as we learnt about personal hygiene and the importance of caring for our bodies.

We are very proud of our Reception children for being such enthusiastic learners and asking some brilliant questions!

Reception have been working hard to strengthen our bodies to help us become confident, capable writers! We have been enjoying lots of fun, active games in the hall, exploring how we can use different parts of our bodies. Through climbing, balancing, stretching, moving and playing games, we are developing our gross motor skills, coordination and core strength. These activities help us build the strong muscles and control we need to sit comfortably, hold our pencils and develop our fine motor skills. We are having lots of fun while getting our bodies ready for writing! 🌟

Autumn Crafts

Autumn 2

Our Reception children have been getting creative as they make their own beautiful poppies to mark Remembrance Day. We talked about why we wear poppies and took time to remember and say thank you to all the brave soldiers who have died serving our country, helping to keep us safe and protect our freedom.

🍂Pumpkin Soup🍂

We have had a wonderful time harvesting our very own pumpkins from our EYFS allotment! This week, we have been exploring the story Pumpkin Soup and bringing our learning to life by making our very own pumpkin soup.

The children developed their practical skills as they chopped, peeled, stirred and blended the ingredients, working together to create a delicious autumnal soup. We had lots of fun exploring the different textures, smells and tastes while learning about where our food comes from. What a fantastic way to combine storytelling, hands-on learning and our love of growing and harvesting in our allotment! 🥣
