We have had another really busy week in Earl’s Hill. The children have been working hard and enjoying learning.

Reception children have enjoyed continuing our sunflower challenge. We have explored seed packets this week and have become maths detectives. We found lots of numbers on the seed packets and talked about what they mean. We have used five frames to help us recognise how many seeds we will need to ensure each child can have one. We then counted the pots too. We have also made a calendar and talked about the changes we may see to our seeds that we have planted this week.

Reception children have also been enjoying lots of literacy activities this week. We have been working on using our phonics to write words and letter formation.

We have had fun in LEX time building a big den! The children really thought about how we could make sure the roof doesn’t fall down. We also found a spiders nest outside!

In Music this week year one have been practising playing the glockenspiels. Reception children then joined us to sing our song.

Reception children have come to the end of their Literacy topic all about dinosaurs. We sequenced the story in groups and then wrote a caption about a picture from the book.

The whole class are enjoying watching our sunflower seeds grow.

Year one children have also come to the end of their Literacy topic. They have written some fantastic stories this week all about lost toys. I am extremely pleased with how their writing has developed over the past few months. Well done Year One children you should be very proud.

Have a lovely weekend everyone and well done again.
