Contrasting countries Japan and China

 This week we have been learning about China in preparation for celebrating Chinese New Year next week. We have looked at famous landmarks in the UK and China, talked about the weather, food, money and animals. The children were so good at spotting things that are the same as our country and things that are very different! 

We had a visit from Hannah's mum who talked to us about Japan, it was lovely to hear about another contrasting countries to the UK, we learnt how many things are the same in Japan and a few traditions which are different to ours.

Our first week in Reception

This week we have had so much fun exploring our new environment. We have made dinner in 'Tiny Town' and looked at books in 'Story Kingdom'  We learnt the names of the areas in the classroom and were excited to hear about Dojos - our reward system for collecting points.  We met Croc and played sound sound talk games and have joined in with maths rhymes and singing using our class rhyme bag. Mrs Yardley popped by to say hello and read us a story.  The dinner hall was very exciting, we met the dinner ladies and enjoyed eating and talking with our friends. At lunchtime we played in Wonderland on the big field!  We look forward to Monday when all the children will be in together.
