Maths: Get creative and go on a shape hunt. I wonder what you will find?

W/B Monday 22nd November 

This week we have been having lots of fun looking at our key text 'Stickman'. We have read it, drew characters, designed a flag and even acted out scenes!

Now the weather is getting colder, why not snuggle up together and watch our stick man story. Can the children re-tell it?

We would love your help to enhance the children's learning at home. We have attached some links below to help. 

W/B Monday 8th November 

WOW, what a busy week we have had in Reception! From introducing our new key text, Stickman, to Remembrance day.

Maths

In Maths we have been learning number bonds (best friends) to 5. We have used 5 frames and our fingers to support us. We have even made a GIANT 5 frame and used ourselves as human counters. The children loved it! 

Continuous Provision

We have been looking at counting and recognising the numbers on the Maths table. Our creative activity this week has been to create an autumnal picture using different stages. Miss Bell took some of us on an Autumn walk on the BIG yard to collect lots of Autumn materials to build our minibeast small world area where we used magnifying glasses to examine all of the different insects. In the construction area, we used the stickle bricks and sticks and balls to build stickman and his house. The malleable area this week has been threading pasta onto pipe cleaners creating branches for stickman's treehouse. 

Remembrance Day

We learnt about Remembrance Day and the importance of showing our respects. The children were really enthusiastic and as a cohort we observed the 2minute silence. We also created our own Poppy's using clay and made beautiful remembrance day pictures. 

A celebrity visit...CHARLIE MYERS!

On Tuesday, we had a pole vault athlete visit us. We completed 4 exercises and he showed us two of his poles he uses. The children loved it and some of us even got to have a go! We really appreciate all of your donations, they will  help towards new sports equipment.
