Reception - Growing, Spring and Easter

Hello everyone!

An update on what we have been up to and what we will be getting up to in the last week of the term! On Friday we made a trip over to pre-school to see some special visitors! The children got to see some tadpoles zipping around in their water tank as well as some hen eggs that are currently sat in an incubator. As we have been learning about Spring and all the things that change around this time of year we will be re-visiting the tadpoles and eggs to see what is going to happen! In literacy we have been learning about writing an explanation to describe HOW something happens or works. 
We will be carrying out another Big Write! This week on Thursday with an emphasis on writing an explanation for how tadpoles or eggs change. A Big Write! Encourages children to write a piece largely independently, using the tools and knowledge that has been taught in the weeks previously. Any discussion that you can have at home will be very helpful in this respect as before we write something we have to know what to say first!

Also this week we will be continuing with subtraction/take away/minus/less than! Using Numicon to help us. We will give an introduction to the Easter story and the meaning behind this. We have already had an assembly from Reverend Jo explaining why Christians celebrate Easter. 
PE kits will be coming home on Friday as well as some tired children needing a couple of weeks to rest!
