Year Reception: What We Are Learning 

Our focus book this week was Dear Zoo.

Here is what we have been up to:

In Literacy we recapped our red words the,a,I,of,he,go,to,my,was,you,we,they,she,have,all,her,see,way

and remembered that sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

We wrote a letter to the zoo asking if we could have an animal.

We used words such as a tall giraffe, a funny monkey and a long snake. 

In Maths this week the children have been adding two different numbers together to see the bigger number.

We looked at animals and thought if a penguin has 2 legs and a lion has 4 then there are 6 legs altogether.  

World cup dress up day

This week we all dressed up in our favourite football kits or the colour of the flag our class had in the school

sweepstake. Alder class had the Netherlands, Aspen class had Turkey and Apple class has Brazil.

We watched highlights of games, made football bookmarks, designed our own football kit and coloured

the World cup mascots. 

Zoo trip

This week we also went to Call of the wild zoo. We had a great time looking at all the animals,

listening to information about life cycles and watching the bird show. 

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