It’s been another busy week in Reception!
Literacy
This week, we’ve been reading the traditional tale Jack and the Beanstalk. We had lots of fun using prosody when saying the Giant’s famous line…
FEE FI FO FUM!
On Tuesday, we all planted our own (magic) beans. We talked about what a bean needs in order to grow and the life cycle of a bean.
What’s a life cycle?
HA – Something that grows and grows.
AT – Something that goes round.
FlM – Something that grows day by day by day.
HM – A life cycle is like us.
After planting our beans, we wrote instructions to explain to others how they could plant a bean.
Maths
We’ve been learning about doubles!
The children are super quick at showing doubles on their fingers.
We used this stem sentence…
_____ is made of _____ and _____ ; double _____ is _____
when explaining double patterns.
We made doubles patterns on ladybirds, butterflies and with paint!
Help at home: Can you make a double pattern at home?

This week, the chilli challenges were based on our focus story.
