Reception 2020 Challenges
I shared a video challenge with the children who are to join Reception Class in 2020. The challenge was to go for a walk or look in your garden and find things from nature such as sticks, leaves, daisies, stones and create art with them or to plant some seeds and to watch them grow. We had some wonderful creative work sent in:
- Alice had wonderful fun responding to Mrs Emery's nature challenge.
- Elliott made a picture using natural materials as suggested in Mrs Emery's video - it is of a rabbit! Elliott is really enjoying the challenges.
- Eve went on a walk with her sister Florence to find things to use for her picture. We have been learning about dinosaurs and Eve then made a family of dinosaurs out of pebbles from the garden and used some of the flowers we found on our walk as food.
- Flora collected nature on her walk with her Mummy and Poppy the dog. She made a picture of her grandma holding flowers and named all the different flowers she had collected.
- Katie made a beautiful tree from leaves and twigs in the garden.
- Max found lots of stones and sticks for his picture. He said he wanted to make the Earth and the sun. He found a nice marigold for the sun and used a dried twig for the rays. He stuck some green leaves and blue forget-me-nots on to ‘Earth’ and a piece of grass to represent Saturn. (He has been helping brother Edward make a model of the solar system, hence his interest). The only item we didn’t find on the day was a piece of natural jade which Mum dug up a couple of weeks ago which he put in for Mars. He had great fun arranging them all. We hope Mrs Emery likes the picture.
- Nellie had a lot of fun with flowers and leaves creating her design.
- Penelope loved the challenge and enjoyed sticking and glueing her picture.
- Sophia found two rocks on her daily walk and asked if she could paint rainbows on them. On our next walk, we will leave the painted rocks for our neighbours to find and bring a smile to their faces.
- Uma went for a nature walk and found lots of leaves, flowers, twigs and made a picture. She saw some sheep on the walk. Uma has also been growing some herbs including rosemary, thyme, mint and oregano.
Thank you all, I have loved seeing all your work. They all made me smile.
