Over the last two weeks in PE, the children have enjoyed balancing on benches. They practised their jumping off, onto mats, and were then challenged to side step and even walk backwards. All the children enjoyed this activity and concentrated well in order to support their balancing. In Literacy, we continued to learn about Africa and read the book The Masai and me. The children then labelled pictures from the story. Within Maths, we have been practising our number formation and taking away. Well done for another successful week, Reception!

This week, we are reading Handa’s Surprise! The children are enjoying listening to the story and within Monday’s Literacy lesson they were challenged to write the fruits Handa placed in her basket. This week in Maths, the children are adding two groups together and they have really impressed us with their recording of numerals so far. Below you can see a picture of the basket weaving activity the children are undertaking in the shared area.
