This week in Reception, the children have carried on with their reading and writing and enjoyed exploring doubling and halving in maths. Decorations have been shared equally between mud pies in the garden, icing dots have been halved between wings on ladybird biscuits and shells and flags carefully halved between beautifully decorated sandcastles.
The children continued to explore their gardens and have created land art snail spirals and had great fun experimenting with the Japanese art of ‘hapa zome’ (extracting pigment from leaves and petals to make patterns on fabric). They have read about seeds, planted seeds and/or made seed packets.
Reception children have listened to poems and stories and their imagination has been as gloriously active as ever, from making ‘Found’ posters of dragons (or giraffes in onesies who have escaped from the zoo!), to making dens in the back garden in which to read magazines they have made themselves.
After reading the story ‘Window’, which charts the view out of a bedroom over time, from rural to urban as a town grows up; the children made wonderful contrasting collages showing a rural scene and an urban scene, framed by their ‘window’.
On top of all this, they have been enthusiastic in their engagement with their wonderful music, PE and French lessons.
Another great week Reception – well done to all the children (and to their Mummies and Daddies!).
