Cinderella

We listened to different versions of the traditional tale Cinderella and talked about  how Cinderella was feeling at different points within the story. We have designed and labeled a dress for Cinderella to ware to the ball. 

Staircase Patterns

This week in Maths we made towers to match the Numberblocks, adding 1 more each time.  We also had to guess which Numberblock was hiding.

Crown Craft

Linked to our story of Cinderella the children decorated their own crowns. Practicing their cutting and fine motor skills, adding detail to their royal crowns.  

Week 1

Winter Wonderland

Winter Writing

Reception have been using sounds to write simple Winter captions and practised using finger spaces between words. We are working hard on letter formation and presentation.

Balance

This week, Poppy class practised their balance and co-ordination skills. We balanced on one leg with a flat foot and arms outstretched, balanced beanbags on different body parts while walking along skipping ropes and stepped over hurdles as part of a challenging circuit.

Investigating Ice

The children have had lots of fun investigating ice this week, observing how it changed throughout the day as it melted and turned back into water.

Snowflake Painting

Our Winter themed finger challenge this week involved creating patterns on a snowflake using cotton buds. We used different shades of blue and white to add interest. The children also used loose parts to create a snowflake.

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).

Numberblocks 

We helped Numberblocks 1-5 find their missing numberling.
