Reception have been working really hard this week. Our focus book was: The Christmas Pine.
Here is what we have been up to: the children have had a brilliant week with lots of Christmas activities! They had lots of fun at the disco this week and played lots of fun games and enjoyed dancing to festive tunes. They all had a lovely Christmas dinner on Wednesday. The children enjoyed pulling crackers and wearing their party hats. They also took part in a Santa Dash and tried their best running round the school field. They ended a fun-filled week with a Christmas party in their classrooms where they played party games and had party food.
The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc this week. The children have all been assessed and are now working in groups based on this. Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children and work on set 1 sounds as well as word time words (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc).
In Maths this week the children have been working on their number formation. They practised writing numbers 4-10. The children also worked hard on completing patterns and worked on one less with numbers 1-5.
In Expressive Arts the children enjoyed collaging.
Well done Reception for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
We wish you all a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year. Thank you for all your support and hard work this year.
Literacy
This week, the children wrote letters in the role of Egg box Dragon to their friends. They informed their friends about the very eventful journey to Buckingham Palace, how difficult it was to find the lost diamond, the grandeur of the visiting royalty, the breathtaking beauty of the palace and scrumptious meal.
Maths
This week, pupils have focused on lines of
symmetry and key vocabulary. They can
identify whether a shape is symmetrical
or not based on the definition of a symmetry.
Also, they have learnt to use lines of symmetry
to complete a shape. Furthermore, we have
focused on counting the edges, faces and
vertices of 3D shapes.
Science
This week the pupils conducted an experiment using
a wide variety of materials.
We wanted to discover whether the properties of the
materials would change shape after we had twisted,
bent and squeezed them. We were pleased to see that
most of our predictions came true!
Forest School
Mulberry class had a lovely morning around the fire on Tuesday.
They toasted waffles and marshmallows, drank hot chocolate
and helped to put the fire out at the end of the session.
Everyone also made a forest school Christmas decoration
from a wooden disc, a leaf star and some eco glitter.
Have a great Christmas everyone.
These children have worked extremely hard and have been rewarded for all of their hard work and efforts.
