This week we have been working with number bonds to 10. We used various concrete objects to support our learning. We investigated various numbers and looked at their number bonds. Skittles, bean bags, numicon, aliens and so many other ways! Ask us some of our number bonds if you see us!
School Council introduce the Hebburn Lakes chant!
We have a new chant, using ideas from all of the children… it is fabulous!
Reception had a fantastic World Book Day!
Everyone made so much effort and some amazing imagination went into some of the costumes. We decorated alien biscuits, made alien headbands, face masks and designed alien underpants! We drew using a Youtube tutorial and also tried to dance like an alien. In our STEM session we looked at how our bodies create electricity and created rockets using effervescent vitamin tablets. A truly fabulous day for us all.
This week in school we have been talking about children’s mental health. We discussed how it is just as important to have a healthy mind as it is to have a healthy body. We also thought about who we should talk to if we are worried, scared, cross or upset and how it is okay to have these feelings but so important to talk to someone about it. We discussed ways to help us keep calm, relaxed and happy. We used these strategies in class:
We gave each other compliments!
Here are some of our comments:
We are kind.
We give good cuddles.
We share with our friends.
We listen to our friends.
We make people laugh and smile.
We play with friends.
We look after everyone.
We drew using the Youtube tutorials, did some Cosmic Kids Yoga and read the story ‘The Dot’ discussing resilience and how we should not give up!
Last week the School Council and Eco Warriors worked together on a bird feeder project. We had a visit from Groundworks who talked to the children about visiting the tip, why you would go and what the children had dropped off. We then discussed how we deal with rubbish and recycling and the importance of 3 R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
We learned the importance of keeping the earth happy and the damage of climate change. The teams made bird feeders from recyclable material and then we hung them around our gardens! The two groups worked so well together and were a credit to us all.
This week we have been combining groups. We have used our maths knowledge and concrete objects to support our learning. We are maths superstars!
We have been looking at numbers 0 to 5. Our jobs included comparing, recognising the numbers, number bonds, 1 more 1 less, is it equal? Who has the most and who has the least? We have used lots of equipment to support our learning.
Reception had an amazing time at their Christmas party and had a very special visitor!
Reception had their first ‘Little Movers’ PE session today. Lots of dancing and following routines, team work and balancing skills! We all had a fabulous time and feel super fit.
Reception were absolutely amazing this morning! We performed ‘A Showman At Sunset’ for our adults. We had lots of last minute stand ins and some major swap around but they all shone in their own way and sang their hearts out! Well done Reception!
