As part of our LMTW theme ‘Food Glorious Food’ we have been looking at ‘sweet foods’ We have used the story ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ throughout the week including Drawing Club. The children have been building the bears house using 3D shapes which was part of our maths this week. We talked about which shapes would be the best for building and why. They recreated the story, wrote captions, read instructions of how to make porridge and used their maths skills of full and empty to recreate the porridge scene, also using size to make sure the bears were in the corrects chairs! We tasted honey and talked about how it is a healthy sweet option and why. We then ate a variety of sweet foods and timed how long it would take to eat them. We talked about which took the longest/shortest times and why, using our science skills of how chocolate melts and why. We looked at and discussed which sweet foods are healthy and which are not healthy, ask your children to tell you, they were experts!
We have had a very busy week in Reception. We have been learning about the Easter Story and the build up to Easter. The importance of Easter for Christians and what symbols represent Easter. We have been making chicks, eggs, baskets, chocolate nest, retelling the story of Easter and so much more! Ask us to tell you about Easter and when you are supposed to have Easter eggs!
We have some new additions to Reception! We have frog spawn. We have been observing the changes to our frogspawn and we now have some tadpoles! We have written captions, discussed the lifecycle of a frog, labelled it and used frogs for number bonds of 10 in our maths
We have had a fantastic World Book Day! We had a Golden Ticket hunt and found so many tickets. We drew the ‘Enormous Crocodile’ and then played some amazing Roald Dahl games!
Our School Council visited Toner Avenue Primary School this week to look at their OPAL environment and talk to their OPAL ambassadors!
Our current Learning Means The World theme is ‘Ticket To Ride!’ We have been using this throughout our learning. In maths we have looked at numbers, 1 more and 1 less, number bonds, shape and positional language. We have gone on magical train rides telling our friends where we would go and why. We used our sounds and made transport words such as van, bus, truck, sub etc And of course some snowy fun!
See attached the latest from our School Council! They have been very busy and have lots to get organised.
Tickets please! Reception had a fabulous day of hot chocolate, dancing, conga, bingo and so much more!
Today we have been exploring our very snowy outside area! Sledging, snowballs, snow angels, making large ice cubes for an igloo and so much more!
