Week 2

 Cinderella

We listened to different versions of the traditional tale Cinderella.  Reception designed, labelled and made a new dress for Cinderella to wear to the ball.   I'm sure you'll agree she was spoilt for choice!

 Staircase Patterns

This week in Maths we made towers to match the Numberblocks, adding 1 more each time.  We played a game with a partner and had to guess which Numberblock was hiding.

Week 1

 Squirrel's New Years Resolution

It was lovely to welcome all the children back to school on Tuesday after their Christmas break.  This week Reception have been reading "Squirrels New Years Resolution" by Pat Miller.  Squirrel does not know about resolutions and finds out from her friend Bear that "a resolution is a promise you make to yourself to be better or help others".  We thought of our own promise to make. 

 Phonics

We have started to read with a partner in our daily phonics lesson.  RWI lessons involve learning letter sounds, Fred talk, reading speedy green words, reading red words, reading alien words, reading a text and also writing captions and that is all within a morning!

Dice Patterns

This week in Maths we have been learning to visualise and describe the arrangements of dots on a dice.  We have been playing lots of different dice games and learning to recognise the dot amounts without touch counting (subitise).
