Reception Learning - W.C 2.2.26

 

Reception: What We Are Learning 

Reception have been working really hard this week. Our focus was The Ugly Duckling & Chinese New Year. 

Here is what we have been up to:The children have taken part in Fairytale Day, looked at a range of different eggs in a science experiment, sorted healthy and unhealthy foods, made cherry blossom tree art, celebrated NSPCC number day and taken part in a dragon dance around school.

The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc this week. In Literacy, we have been writing words about eggs. They used their sound knowledge to write words such as big, white, brown and spotty. Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children, bring their reading folder on their reading day and work on set 1 sounds as well as word time words (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc). Watch this video for set  1 sound practise - Set 1 sounds.

In Maths this week the children have been looking at odd and even numbers. Odd and even numbers are taught by exploring pairing and sharing. Even numbers (2,4,6,8,10) can be split into two equal groups or paired up perfectly. Odd numbers (1,3,5,7,9) cannot be shared equally, always leaving one "odd one out". 

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