This week in Reception, the children have been engaging in an exciting exploration of the world. As part of our ongoing theme of exploration, we delved into the diverse range of fruits and vegetables that are found in different parts of the world. The lesson began with a discussion where the children shared their knowledge of fruits. They talked about the fruits they already know and enjoyed, identifying their favourites. The children eagerly contributed their ideas, with some mentioning common fruits like apples, bananas, and strawberries. Next, we expanded our exploration by introducing a selection of exotic fruits from around the world. The children had the opportunity to learn about and observe fruits such as guava, custard apples, passion fruit, Sharon fruit, and mini bananas. We discussed the unique features of each fruit, such as their colours, shapes, and textures. The children showed great interest in these new fruits, asking questions and expressing curiosity about their origins. Through this hands-on experience, the children not only enhanced their knowledge of different fruits but also developed an appreciation for the diversity of foods found globally. In Reception class, the children have been reading the story The Invisible, which has helped them develop empathy for people living in poverty. As part of their learning, they visited the local food bank where they actively contributed by preparing food hampers. Each child made sure that every hamper contained two bags of fruit and two bags of vegetables. They also helped distribute toiletries and other essentials like peanut butter. During the week, discussions were held about the importance of people in the community who help others, fostering a sense of gratitude and community spirit. Additionally, the children shared their dreams for the future, discussing what they would like to be when they grow up, which highlighted their growing understanding of aspirations and the value of helping others. This activity not only supported their emotional development but also encouraged them to think about kindness and responsibility in their community. |
