Summer A
Week 2
The Zig Zags
We had a lovely morning in Early Years welcoming author Naomi Barley to West Denton Primary School. She shared her story "The Zig Zags" about the Spots, the Stripes and the Zig Zags on planet Zorkk. The children enjoyed making crafts linked to the book.
The Planets
Reception listened to the opposing music compositions Mars and Venus from Gustav Holst’s “The Planets”. We moved and drew shapes in response to the angry and then relaxing music.
Doubles
The children have been learning their double facts by filling ten frames in twos. They enjoyed seeing how each pair built the total and were quick to spot when a frame showed a double. Their confidence with doubles is really starting to grow.
Week 1
Whatever Next!
Reception have enjoyed a space themed week inspired by the Jill Murphy story “Whatever Next!”. The children used props to act out the story. We have been practising how to use a capital letter, finger spaces and a full stop when writing sentences.
Counting
The children practised counting bigger collections by moving objects or marking them off one by one, helping them see how systematic counting makes it easier to know ‘how many altogether’.
