Reception: What We Are Learning 

Reception have been working really hard this week. Our focus book was Rama and Sita.

Here is what we have been up to: The children learnt all about the Hindu Festival of Light: Diwali. We read the story of Rama and Sita. We learnt about Diwali and how Hindus and Sikhs celebrate the festival. They were able to describe how Sita was feeling during the story using emotion cards such as happy, sad or scared. The children made diyas using clay and painted and decorated them beautifully. 

The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc his week. The children have all been assessed and are now working in groups based on this. The children have worked hard this week to write the initial sounds that they can hear in words. We talked about what sounds fireworks make such as whizz, bang, whoosh and the children worked hard to write the initial sounds for example p for pop! 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 worked hard to find one more and one less. They were able to say what one more and one less of the numbers 1, 2 and 3 were.

Well done Reception for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
