Reception - Learning this week...

Hello everyone,
This week we have been continuing our learning with our seaside topic. We are also going to be adding an element to this: Sea Turtles. We'll be exploring the question 'Why do Loggerhead Sea Turtles love dark sandy beaches?' Through this question we'll be looking at night and day and what then happens during these times, looking at some material of sea turtles in their natural habitat and making some paper plate turtles too!
What we'll also be continuing this week is our cooking! Last week we made some wedges... This week we'll be adding to this by making some fish cakes. Children have been looking at and feeling some fresh fish as well as mashing and tasting their efforts! So far, every child has had a try so well done!
In literacy this week we're writing some senses poems! Children have been casting their minds back to our beach trip last week and writing some absolutely brilliant poems! We have put up our shared poem as you come in the door so please have a look at what we came up with!
Lastly, in maths, we have been learning about money. We've been learning what each of the coins is worth and trying some counting up in 2's, 5's and 10's! If you get an opportunity to do this at home, fantastic! Also, if you are one of the rare people that still use money to pay for things, letting your children do this is a great way to introduce them to how we use money every day!
