Reception – Chinese New Year

27.01.23

Happy new Lunar Year to all our families who celebrate! Here at St Adrians we also celebrated by playing in our chinese restaurant and cooking real noodles for snack. Some of us even tried to catch them with chopsticks 🙂 Impressive!!!

Mmmm delicious 🙂

The Magic paintbrush‘ story was a hit again and this week we were writing captions of what Shen could do the escape the greedy Emperor… The children had some really good ideas:

Maybe she can paint a balloon, hold it and escape!
Maybe she can paint fake coins and treak the Emperor…
Shen can paint a door and escape the prison.

We also made a lovely display with our own painting and carefully labelled our ideas!

This week we’ve learned 3 new digraphs and another trigraph. Have a look:

We also learned 3 new tricky sounds. Please help your child read them daily as this will really help them consolidate their understanding of them. Remember, these words cannot be sounded out, so we encourage your child to recognise them ‘by sight’ or read them fluently. As always a big thank you for your continued support:

In Maths this week, the children consolidated their understanding of the composition of 5. They were encouraged to visualise numbers within 5 and to work out how many are hidden when they know the whole number in a set. We did that by singing a favourite rhyme: Five speckled frogs… it was really exciting to be frogs jumping in the pool 🙂

Dates:
30.01.23 – Inset day
Friday reading mornings – 8:45am to 9:00 am.

Have an amazing weekend!
Looking forward seeing you all on Tuesday.
