Year Reception: What We Are Learning 

 Our focus book this week was the wonderful Handa’s Surprise. 

To bring the story to life,the children went on their own tropical taste adventure on Monday! They had the opportunity to taste a variety of delicious fruits, including avocado,pineapple, mango and passion fruit. We were absolutely blown away by the children’s bravery! We were especially surprised to see how many children were willing to try the avocado just by watching their friends give it a go. Peer pressure at its finest and healthiest!

After sampling the fruits, the children filled in a chart to rate each one with a smiley face or a sad face based on their preferences. 

During the tasting ,we encouraged children to use their senses and describe each fruit. We gathered all their fantastic ideas and created a vocabulary mind map packed full of descriptive words! This set us up perfectly for Tuesday’s writing activity! The children put their fantastic sound skills to work. They wrote sentences about which fruit they liked or disliked, and exactly why.

The children carefully checked their sentences for capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. 

Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children and work on set 1 or 2 sounds as well as word time words (1.1-1.7).

To celebrate the setting of our story, the children learned about traditional Maasai necklaces and the special meanings behind each beautiful colour. They then used this knowledge and created their very own African necklaces, using paper plates and paint.

Once the beautiful creations were dry, the children put them on and danced along to some African music! The classrooms were full of rhythm,colours and smiles!

In Maths this week the children have been focusing on manipulating, rotating and selecting 2D shapes for a purpose. They had to put their problem-solving skills to the test, combining and rotating shapes to create their very own wonderful shape pictures.

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