Reception – Butterfly life cycle

12.05.2023

This week in reception we’ve had a pleasant surprise!!! Our caterpillars are not caterpillars anymore. They were very busy eating and growing and then building a cocoon around themselves. We placed them into the net and can’t wait to see how are they turning into butterflies. We hope that they will do that during the school day, so we can see it!!!

Next week we will be writing about how caterpillars turn into butterflies and also will be creating models. Stay tuned for that!

The children were writing sentences about these feelings and they did so well. This is the story if you want to have a look:

In RE we continued talking about good news and the joy they bring. Thank you very much for sharing your good news with us. Next week we will think about the Holy Spirit and the good news that Jesus is sending the Holy Spirit to keep us all safe.

In Maths this week, the children reviewed the composition of the numbers 6 to 9 using the ‘5 and a bit’ structure, and then explored how 10 can be composed. The children also developed a sense of the ‘ten-ness of 10’ by making their own collections of 10 objects. We used the 10 frame to support us and made different arrangements with different objects:
