Spring 2: Week 4
This week’s book has been Jack and the Beanstalk. It has inspired us to plant our own seeds and observe them over time.
The children enjoyed doing this and writing some instructions for others to do the same.
We are still being inspired by the books we have read over the last few weeks-The hundred Decker Bus and The Hundred Decker Rocket.
The children enjoyed visiting our book fair and were discussing what their favourite books were.
This week we have started looking at the number 7 and the different parts it can be split into.
Help at home: by practising partitioning 7. You can do this using pasta, teddies or anything else that you can find at home that you have 7 of.
Thank you to all of those that came to the stay and learn this week.
Reminder: stay and learn session

Spring 2 : Week 3
The children have done an amazing job performing in our class assembly this week. They spoke and sang with confidence-well done reception.
During literacy we have been reading The Hundred Decker Bus. The children have been discussing where they would like to go on their bus and what they would have on their deck.
We have been enjoying developing our gross motor skills on the equipment.
Math
This week we have been looking at more than and less than. We were looking at what numbers fit inside each other (less than) and which number don’t (more than) for example, 4 fits in 5 so it is less than.
Remember: to read the online school books at home. Some of these have not been downloaded which means you won’t be able to read them. Please download them.
Next week on the 18th is our Math stay and learn 9-9:30. You will watch a lesson and then have time in the areas with the children completing math’s challenges.
I have spoken to the children about the new teachers that are replacing me -Mrs Wood Mon-Thu Mrs Brown(Friday). Today Mrs Brown has been in class.

Spring 2: Week 2 World Book Day
This week has been a very busy week in reception.
We had a fantastic time on our trip looking at all of the trains. The children were excited about finding the trains we had seen on the museum’s website and in ore of how big the trains were up close. We compared trains from the past to modern day trains.
Thank you to all those parents that joined us for World Book Day morning. The children enjoyed sharing their favourite stories and listening to you read. The children also enjoyed becoming authors themselves by creating their very own book.
Help at home: by sharing stories with your child.
Math
During this week’s number, we have been looking at what number comes next and counting accurately.
Help at home: by asking your child what number comes next with 10.
Remember: next week is our class assembly.
