Remembrance in Reception

This week, Reception has been learning about Remembrance Day and thinking about what it means to remember others. We read The Memory Tree by Britta Teckentrup, which helped us explore the idea of memories, special people and how we can keep those memories alive. We also took part in the two-minute silence, where the children did a wonderful job of sitting quietly and taking a moment together. The children have been busy exploring poppies in lots of different ways. At the easel, they used watercolours to create their own paintings, while at the playdough table they used red playdough and pompoms. In cooking we decorated biscuits with red icing to make delicious poppy biscuits! It has been a lovely week of thoughtful learning in Reception.
