Here’s an opportunity to have fun and keep healthy as a family with Joe Wicks. Please click the link below:

 

Supertato

This week, we are reading Supertato. In Maths, Evil Pea created a doubling machine and he was secretly doubling all the peas in the world! The children enjoyed learning how to double numbers and we were impressed with how hard they worked. They have accessed different super hero challenges and resources within their learning time. Check out these Super Heroes below!

Book Fair

The children enjoyed visiting the book fair in the hall. They were encouraged to choose a book of interest to look at and then share if they thought it would be a good book to purchase, giving reasons for their answers.

This week, we have continued to learn about plants and we described a sunflower in Literacy. In Maths, we learnt to subtract by counting back.

Check out some pictures from this week, including some super independent work completed during independent learning time.

Let’s Get Growing

This term our new topic is called Let’s Get Growing. This week, the children have enjoyed learning about plants and described a rose within Literacy. In Maths, we learnt to hold a number in our head and add on when counting. The children have settled back into their routine after half term and especially enjoyed their tennis training today.

Theatre Visit

Today, we had a visit from The Hobgoblin Theatre Company. The children enjoyed watching the interactive performance of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and then undertook an exciting workshop, led by the actors. We were very proud of all the children’s behaviour, which was praised by the performers. Well done, Reception! We hope you all have a lovely half term and thank you again for all your continued support.

 

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Over the next two weeks, we will be following the theme of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Today, the children enjoyed listening to the story and writing sentences about how the characters behave and feel. We were very impressed with their ability to ‘Hold a Sentence’. Check out some of our super writing below!

Super Writer Bands

Has your child took home a Super Writer Wrist Band? If so, they have demonstrated great independent writing. Please reward them with lots of praise, as independent writing is such an achievement and it will continue to motivate them to apply and develop their writing skills.

The Gruffalo

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.

Little Red Riding Hood

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!
