Love Monster
Love is in the air this week in Reception. We celebrated Valentines Day by making cards for our loved ones and by decorating heart collages. The children enjoyed listening and watching the "Love Monster" by Rachel Bright and decided to draw pictures of the Love Monster during plan to play. It was lovely to see so many parents attending the maths workshop this week, I hope you all found it useful to continue to develop the children's love for learning at home.

Oi Frog
This week the children have worked so hard to understand rhyming words. This is a difficult concept for the children to understand. However, they have done a great job identifying them and also writing sentences to match pictures from the story "Oi Frog" by Kes Gray and Jim Field.

Cinderella
The children enjoyed listening to the traditional tale of Cinderella this week. We all became fashion designers by designing and making our Barbie's new dresses to go to the Prince's ball. Before the children made their dresses they had to draw and label their designs using their fantastic phonics knowledge and they did an amazing job, I'm sure you would agree.
