This week, we read The Gruffalo and the children enjoyed listening to the story and for words that rhyme. They then wrote their own rhyming words/ sentences in Literacy. In Maths, we practised our number bonds to 5 and challenged some to learn number facts to 10. Within PE, we used the parachute and had lots of fun working together as a team to bounce all the balls off! Finally, don’t forget to celebrate Chinese New Year this Saturday. We have enjoyed learning about it and comparing it to how we celebrate our new year.

This week, we have continued to focus on the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The children enjoyed writing their own version of the story within Literacy and we were very impressed by all of their writing. Within Maths, the children worked on their knowledge of repeated patterns and were challenged to use 2/3 different shapes to create their own. During PE, we discussed how different colours make us feel and expressed this through movement. The children were encouraged to devise a series of movements to create their own expressive dance. Another great week had by all. Well done for all your hard work, Reception!
