Hi Reception Families.
What a FANTASTIC first week back we had, the children were absolutely amazing this week, we have been so impressed with their attitude towards their learning, their curiosity in their questions and their kindness in their play.
We have got stuck in straight away to our new topic of Amazing Animals with Jungle Week, this week have explored what a jungle is and what animals live there and where they are in the world. In Expressive Art and Design we made a parrot, using our knowledge of colour mixing to create different shades and colours. We had a fantastic play project where we made a jungle animal and their home.
In maths we practised adding one more to create a staircase and practised our counting to 20.
We have been practising our threading, we found this tricky and practising threading pasta at home would be a fantastic way to keep improving our fine motor skills.
In DT/Science we investigated which materials are waterproof and what waterproof means.
The weather was against us for most of the week, but we really enjoyed jumping in the odd puddle or two and really enjoyed playing outside when we could!
Thank you for all of the homework feedback sheets for Maths, it is fantastic to read how so many children go on with their home learning.
Turning our Attention to next week:
English: I will not ever never eat a tomato
Maths: Composition
Understanding the world: Safari Animals.
DT/Science: Objects that float.
Please ensure your child has spare clothes and wellies in school as we will be going out as much as we can.
As ever please do get in touch if there is anything we can do to help.
Ms Evans and the Reception Team
