It has been another busy week in Reception! The children have made the most of the beautiful sunshine, painting pictures of apple trees in the orchard, making autumn leaf ‘sun-catchers’ for the classroom, and keeping cool with water play using pipettes and different-sized bottles.
They have focused on size this week, sorting various different objects by size, singing ‘When Goldilocks Went to the House of the Bears’, reading ‘Goldilocks’ and ordering pictures from the story by size. They also read ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. They then worked in pairs, using their critical thinking skills to construct bridges to span a ‘river’ snaking across the classroom floor, for the Billy Goats Gruff to use.
