Welcome to the Gateshead Reception Class Page.  Here, you can find out about everything that we've been doing this term.
Week ending 2nd May 2025
 
What a fantastic first week back we have had, Gateshead class!
 
We had the privilege of taking part in another music workshop. This time, with our teachers getting involved! Some of the children joined in with various pieces of percussion such as Boom-whackers, bells and drums.
 
In PE this week, we have been furthering our ball skills and have continued practising keeping our ball under control and trying some new tricks.
 
One of our Friday rotation activities was to draw to music. This involved exploring how different types of music can make us feel. We listened to some examples which were very different to each other. The children were very good at identifying how higher notes in a song could make us feel happy, excited, energetic. Whereas lower notes in songs could make us feel sad or even calm.

We then used this knowledge and listened to three pieces of music and drew to the music, using different colours, lines and shapes - the drawings all turned out amazing.
