Reception - Summer 2 - Week 3
Date: 23rd Jun 2022 @ 8:15pm
What a lovely sunny week we have had in Reception!
We set up our playdough area as an ice cream shop where the children have really enjoyed letting their imaginations run wild with flavour combinations and selling techniques! They have served their ice creams to their friends and teachers and worked really well as a team. If only the ice cream had been real!
We have been learning about sharing quantities in maths, understanding what is fair and when we don’t have enough, how we can make equal groups. The children quickly understood the idea and how many we need to add or take away to make it fair. They have been keen to use some doubling facts from last week to help explain their reasoning and I am so impressed with their knowledge!
In our literacy learning , the children have been set the challenge of describing key parts of the story Supertato. They have approached this with enthusiasm and pride and I am blown away every day by how independent they are becoming with their writing.
On Wednesday the class had the opportunity to spend time in their Year 1 classroom with their new teacher, Miss Jones. They were all very intrigued about what it would be like and were absolute stars. It’s hard to believe that we are so close to the end of their year in Reception and I was so proud of how well they coped and asked questions to help them understand what it will be like in September.
Over the week the children have created superhero capes, some using vegetables to print a pattern. We have loved spending time outside, playing in the water trays, blowing bubbles and reading stories in the shade. We especially enjoyed creating nature art in Forest School and our time at Music in Unison.
We welcomed Caroline this week for Godly Play, where she spoke to the children about the importance of prayers and we learned about the Pretzl Prayer. Thank you so much for your time Caroline.
Friday was such an exciting day for Reception. The children looked fantastic in their own clothes ready for the fair. The children had a great time exploring with their buddies, taking part and winning prizes. Thank you for all of your support.
We wish you a lovely weekend and look forward to seeing you on Monday.
Mrs Mallett and the Reception team.
