Reception

What another busy week in Reception!

During our WOW service on Wednesday, Caroline told us the story of Daniel and the Lions, a story that we have also been reading and thinking about during our RE lessons.  The children gave thanks for bravery and the Bible stories that help us believe in ourselves.

The children have participated with such enthusiasm during our maths learning, where we have been exploring weight and capacity.  They have predicted capacities of various containers, tested their predictions and showed great understanding.  We set a challenge to see how many objects the children could fit in to a small container which saw them choosing a variety of small objects and great counting using 10 frames.

We were all very excited to go to Forest School on Tuesday with Mrs Bevin.  The children understood and adhered to the rules and expectations of sitting around our fire circle and explored the woods for signs of spring finding beautiful snowdrops and emerging bulbs.  A game of ‘1,2,3 Where are you?’ was the perfect end to a fun morning.

Our literacy lessons this week were focusing on Hattie Peck’s hatchlings and their birthday parties. We asked the children to decide which animal they would like to be and to write a shopping list for supplies!  We had parties for echidnas, snakes, flamingoes and penguins with a lot of cake being put on the lists!  The children are working so hard on their letter formation and identifying sounds within words, they show great pride in their work and we are so proud of them.

Have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.
