Reception children 'discover' the solar system

This week the children have enjoyed learning about the different planets in our solar system. The topic of space has always proved to be a popular subject which promotes creativity and imagination. The children have enjoyed getting the paint pads out during our free flow afternoons and investigating how wax resists the watercolours. We have been working hard on our number bond recall and have had fun using the interactive whiteboard games to find the matching pairs to make the total of 10. In Art the children have designed and painted their own imaginary alien and these will be used to stimulate our imaginative writing during our English lessons next week.
