What another busy week we have had! Making Father’s Day Cards, writing stories and adding up totals of money have been just a few of the things happening in Reception this week.
When we arrived in the classroom on Monday morning we found a note from a little boy called Jack. Jack had been into our class over the weekend, but the three bears would not let him play with them because he didn’t know their story. We decided we wanted to help Jack, so we wrote the story of ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ out for him so if he did return to play he would know the story. The children used capital letters and full stops well with super application of phonics sounds and spellings.
In Maths we have continued our work on money. Finding totals by adding different amounts together has been the main focus and the children have done very well. Each time we are adding a coin, we draw the amount that it is worth underneath – this is something that really helps us understand the different amounts that we are working with.
In PE this week we have been focusing on mindful movements and learning about different ways we can calm our bodies and minds. This is something that can be quite challenging in Reception, but the children are being ever so grown up and have started to understand the importance of quiet and calm time.
We have been working extremely hard on our class assembly this week as we want it to be just right. Lines have been learnt, expression has been added and the volume has been tweaked. We will add the finishing touches next week and look forward to seeing you at 2.50pm on Friday afternoon.
Letters will be coming out to you next week in regard to our trip to Trentham Gardens on Tuesday 9th July. If anyone would like to come on the trip with us, we have 8 places for adults, so please do come and see one of us.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
