Reception – Children in need

17.11.23

Hello children, parents and carers,
this is our week in a nutshell 🙂
On Monday we’ve had a special anti – bullying assembly and talked a lot about being kind and respectful towards everyone in school and home. We also discussed how we need to ‘MAKE A NOISE’ and tell someone if we notice other children being unkind. To show everybody that we are all different and unique we came to school wearing odd socks.

Big thank you to Emily’s mum for coming to school and talking about her profession. It was lovely to hear what she does, helping people all around Europe to understand how food waste is a massive problem and how to limit food waste. She gave us good tips on how to make sure we don’t waste any food in our homes by doing weekly shopping, making sure we check the fridge regularly and only buy what we need.

In Little Wandle this week we’ve learned 1 new grapheme and 2 new digraphs. We are talking more and more about digraphs (2 letters, but 1 sound) and the children are doing so well remembering them.

We also began reading words ending with -s, like cats, hits, maps. Please make sure you check your children’s orange books for new tricky words. This week we’ve learned to, go, into and no.

In Maths we talked about circles and triangles. The children had to explain how they know it’s a triangle and how they know it’s a circle:
It’s a circle because it’s round.
It’s a triangle because it has 3 sides and 3 corners.

On Friday we celebrated World multiplication day’. The children engaged in a wide variety of songs, rhymes, games and activities. In practical activities and through discussion they began to solve problems involving doubling.
2 cakes for little bear and 2 cakes for big bear. How many cakes all together?

Thank you for your generous donations. The cakes looked and smelled amazing.

Have a lovely weekend!
Looking forward seeing you all next week.
