Reception busy times in spring!

21st March 2025K Richardson

Reception have been showing off their independent reading, writing and maths skills. We have been reading words, hunting for them outside and writing sentences. We are using skittles, counters and objects to investigate number bonds of 10. We have decorated pots and then sprinkled cress seeds in to make cress heads. We talked about what the seeds need so that they will grow. We have some new additions to Reception. Everyone was so excited to see the frogspawn. We will be investigating how they change, grow and how we can look after them.

 

Stepping back in time, pancakes and pizza, a busy Reception week!

6th March 2025K Richardson

What a fabulous week! We have played guess who with the baby photos using our time language. Had races to see how fast we can pick up items or run in a set amount of time. We made the most amazing play dough pancakes our story in Drawing Club was ‘The Little Red Hen’ we also read ‘The Little Red Hen Makes Pizza’. We decided to make our own pizzas. The children chose their toppings and then sat with their friends to eat their delicious creations ❤️

A busy last 2 weeks in Reception!

21st February 2025K Richardson

Wow, what a busy time Reception have had.  We have been looking at the Emergency Services and how they help us.  The children have been full emersed and are ready to join when they are older!  We have been using the story Three Billy Goats in Drawing Club and the children have loved creating bridges, recreating the story and writing sentences about the story.  We have also been measuring our hands and feet.  A fabulous couple of weeks!

 

Math’s Wizards!

19th February 2025N Sikka

1 Red are having great fun at home using the Math’s App ‘NUMBOTS’. They are using Mathematical skills previously learnt to apply to this great game and the children are really enthusiastic about beating their personal scores each day. It’s wonderful to see their enthusiasm and confidence with Math’s grow through a simple App. If your child hasn’t already used the App we highly recommend it in year one.

Year 3 Workshops

5th February 2025C Machin

What a great morning we had this morning! This morning we had our parents and carers join us for a maths workshop. We introduced them to some of the methods that we used for multiplication and division, we showed them how we can play with numbers using different  methods and sang a couple of our favourite multiplication songs.

 

Marvelous Math’s!

5th February 2025N Sikka

1 Red had a very successful Math’s workshop today. We showed our parents/carers how to explore and play with Math’s indoors and out. The children had great fun teaching their adults different methods of recording. Everyone had a great time getting stuck into all things Math’s
