It has been a joy to welcome the children back to Reception. We have been exploring the story of “Jack and the Beanstalk” to illustrate our maths focus on height and measurement. We have planted our own ‘magic beans’ and measured ourselves against a giant beanstalk using our comparative language ‘tall, taller and tallest’ and ‘short, shorter, shortest’. We have used cubes to measure different sizes of bean sprouts and played a musical ‘number bonds to five’ matching game. It has been wonderful to be able to make the most of the fabulous weather and enjoy playing outside in the garden.
