Reception
Date: 16th Jun 2022 @ 8:16pm
What a lovely time we have had in the sunshine this week.
The children were all excited to come into the classroom on Monday to find fruits and vegetables in various places, including a tied up coconut and watermelon with plasters over it’s mouth!! The Evil Pea had struck again! They were able to match up speech bubbles to each of the characters and have then shown some fantastic writing skills over the week, writing their own versions!
In our maths lessons we have been exploring how to double numbers. I have been so impressed by how quickly the children have understood and applied their learning in various ways, from painting butterflies to making double numbers for Superhero capes.
Our RE learning has included discussing why Jesus was a special person, learning about miracles and the miracles that Jesus performed. We listened to stories of Jesus healing ill people and how he showed kindness to all, which led to some wonderful discussions and conversations from the children.
We have spent time over the week understanding the importance of healthy food and brushing our teeth. Each child has been given a tooth brushing chart to tick off their morning and evening tooth brushing for the next few weeks, when they will be able to bring them back into school to show us all. Well done for making a great start Reception.
Continuing our topic of Superheroes and Supertato, the children have created playdough Supertato and the Evil Pea, traps for the Evil Peas as well as designing their own Superheroes. They are all determined that the Evil Pea will soon be caught! We had a mini supermarket set up in the playground, just like in the book Supertato. The children labelled their items and set prices - it was a very popular place to do your weekly shop!
We wish you all a lovely weekend (and Happy Father’s Day) and look forward to seeing you on Monday.
