Reception - Summer 1 - Week 5

Date: 19th May 2022 @ 10:34pm

It's been another busy week in Reception!

Following on from our trip to Martin Mere last week, we gave the opportunity to the children to independently write about their day.  They have made us so proud and we have seen some fantastic pieces of written work over the course of the week.

We welcomed Caroline for Godly play on Thursday. She talked about the joy of friendship and we learnt about loving each other in the way that Jesus loves us. Thank you for your time Caroline and we will see you next week for WOW.

Our caterpillars have all successfully pupated and we have moved them in to our observation net.  Throughout the week the children have been fascinated by the process involved and we are really hoping that they emerge as butterflies before we break up for half term.

We also enjoyed time in the sunshine, planting our runner beans out from their mini greenhouses.  We talked about the roots and other parts of the plant, and we can now watch them grow even taller in their pots.

In maths this week we have introduced first, then, now stories.  This is another way of helping the children understand number sentences and they have all tried really hard, with some fantastic maths and number writing.

On Friday we celebrated World Bee Day.  We learned that there are lots of different types of bees, what they feed on and why they are so important.  The children have loved creating bee art work and we even tasted some delicious honey!

We wish you all a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.
