What a busy week we’ve had again in Reception.

 

In Literacy we have been continuing our learning about the book ‘Let’s all creep through Crocodile Creek’. This week we recalled the story and read a few more pages from the book. We looked at the picture on the page we read to and then wrote about it:

 

We have also been taking part in National Storytelling week. We have looked at some traditional tales; The Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Gingerbread Man. We have joined in many activities to learn about the stories such as making finger puppets and stick puppets and retelling one of the stories to the class. We looked at two different versions of The Gingerbread Man and talked about what was the same and what was different in them.

 

In Maths we have been learning about making pairs and which numbers are pairs and which have an odd one. We paired socks, animals to go into an ark and found who had the matching pair to an item we were holding. We joined in a maths activity about alien pairs:

 

 

In the afternoons we have been learning about Chinese New Year. We have looked at some Chinese items, listened to the story of the Chinese New Year called ‘The Great Race’, joined in with some dragon dancing and tasted Chinese food:

Sapphire brought in some flags of Vietnam she made at home. We talked about the flag and compared it with the flag of China. We enjoyed making flags of Vietnam:

 

What a fantastic busy week!

We hope you have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Meddins and Mrs Dallow.
