This is Me Overview
Pets At Home Visit
As part of the ‘Under the Sea’ topic, Reception had the opportunity to visit Pets At Home, Ilford. The children practiced road safety on the journey, and travelled on 2 buses to get there. Whilst at Pets At Home, each Reception class purchased 4 fish, a snail and a crab for their class tank. The children and parents had lots of fun, and the children enjoyed exploring the different fish they could see in the tanks.
Police Visit
Reception’s ‘People Who Help Us’ topic was brought to life, when we had a visit from two local Police Officers. The Police Officers visited the children, and spoke about their jobs and some of the equipment they use when they are working, including handcuffs, batons and their Police Uniforms. Reception had the opportunity to ask questions and find out some more about what Police Officers do each day.
Celebrations
In Reception, the children have the opportunity to learn about different celebrations which occur throughout the year, and open up a discussion of what the children celebrate and what beliefs they may have. During child-initiated exploration, the children had the opportunity to explore different materials, fabrics, music and religious items, and speak about those which are familiar to them.
