1 Red are having great fun at home using the Math’s App ‘NUMBOTS’. They are using Mathematical skills previously learnt to apply to this great game and the children are really enthusiastic about beating their personal scores each day. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm and confidence with Math’s grow through a simple App. If your child hasn’t already used the App we highly recommend it in year one.
We have had a perfect pirate week in Reception! Lots of pirate creations such as hats, maps, ships and so much more. Amazing combining of groups, reading, building and spelling words and reading our everyday words. Our sentence writing is developing as well as our independence ☠️⚓️⭐️❤️
1 Red have fully embraced Rockstar day, they have brought rockstar characters to life with their wonderful rockstar singing and dancing. I am sure you agree they all look amazing!
What a great morning we had this morning! This morning we had our parents and carers join us for a maths workshop. We introduced them to some of the methods that we used for multiplication and division, we showed them how we can play with numbers using different methods and sang a couple of our favourite multiplication songs.
1 Red had a very successful Math’s workshop today. We showed our parents/carers how to explore and play with Math’s indoors and out. The children had great fun teaching their adults different methods of recording. Everyone had a great time getting stuck into all things Math’s
Another fabulous week! So much maths work going on.. number bonds, capacity and so much more. Help is at hand was shining, helping each other, keeping everything tidy and showing their fabulous skills at home lots of independent phonics, reading and building words, fabulous team work and being a great friend!
Yesterday Reception showed the adults how our Sounds Write skills are developing. We showed them a couple of our phonics lessons, wrote a sentence and read some of our every day words. Then we showed them how we read our books and talk about the story. After that we showed them Drawing Club and how it helps us with our oracy, drawing skills, imagination, maths and writing, also how we learn amazing new vocabulary. It was a fabulous morning and the adults were blown away at how much Reception have progressed!
A very busy week in Reception. We have continued our theme ‘Ticket to Ride’. The children have been on imaginary train journeys telling us where they would go and what they might do when they get there. Played ‘stop and go’ where they have to safely drive and manoeuvre between their friends and stop/go when the sign is flashed. Built so many different types of transportation, one of our Drawing Club words, we will show you next week in our workshop! Drawn and painted various types of transport and used our Sounds Write skills to build words and write captions. ✈️❤️⭐️
A fabulous first week back in Reception! Our new theme is ‘Ticket to Ride’ and we have been learning about different reasons why we would use a ticket. We’ve looked at lots of the different tickets children have brought in, designed our own and even had a hunt for golden tickets! We’ve drawn and built transport, used our maths skills and so much more! ⭐️❤️
1 Red have returned to school after the Christmas break very keen and eager to learn. In maths the children have working on place value within 20 and have been playing independently with a range of resources to support their learning. In Learning Means the World our new theme is ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat.’ We have been using a compass to plot and navigate points around the world and looking at the seven different continents and the countries within each one. We have used lots of role play to support our learning in both LMTW and English around the theme of pirates. The children have really enjoyed this aspect of learning and are linking it to other aspects of the curriculum and within their independent work. In PE we are exploring dance using our bodies to embrace rhythm and movement.
