Hi Reception Families,
What a lovely week we have had. I have been really impressed this week with how children have taken change in their stride and how they have demonstrated their resilience and flexibility, both of which form key parts of our Personal Social Emotional Development areas of learning.
This week we have been learning about the lifecycle of butterflies. We have really enjoyed reading The Hungry Caterpillar and learning about the metamorphosis into a butterfly.
On Wednesday we did a play project focussing on the lifecycle. Children has access to a variety of materials and resources to demonstrate their knowledge. Each child made an egg, caterpillar, cocoon and butterfly. As the photos show their work and creativity was impressive.
We also started our first whole class math learning time, this is the beginning of our foundations for transition into Year One, it is important that over the next term or so that children experience pockets of more formal learning mixed within our continuous provision. The children absolutely loved it!
Between 8:45-9:00 children have time to write, draw and colour in their books, this week children have started writing the 'dotty date' on their page. There is a theme each day however, children can follow their own interests if they choose. This is a fantastic opportunity to practice our fine motor, pencil control and drawing skills.
We also really enjoyed our yoga and mindfulness session this week!
Children who were 'opted in' hand their Height and Weight Check on Thursday and Vision Check on Friday
Turning our attention to next week:
Drawing Club: Dear Zoo
Power maths: Number sentences within 10
Understanding the World: Minibeasts and Superworms
All children should have brought home a home learning sheet, please let me know if you need one.
As ever, if there is anything we can help with please do get in touch.
Ms Evans and the Reception Team.
