Week 19
Class: Reception Year: 2022 - 2023
This week, we have focused on Valentine’s Day and learning why we celebrate it. The children spoke about what people might do on this day (for example make cards for a loved one, buy someone flowers or tell someone why they are special to them). The children then designed and created their own Valentine’s Day card for someone they love. They used their cutting and sticking skills to carefully cut out hearts and create a pattern.
In Maths this week we have explored the number 10 and different ways of making 10. We have looked at how many ways we can partition 10, making number sentences with our ninja maths moves.
In Literacy, this week we have been looking at The Colour Monster and we have been discussing our emotions. The children have independently written sentences this week about how they feel. On Friday we spoke about how we can feel lots of different emotions at once. We used a bottle with glitter inside to show how our emotions can be mixed up. The different colours of glitter link to our emotions (for example yellow is happy and red is angry). During choosing time the children then created their own feelings bottles and practised shaking them up and then letting the feelings settle.
For handwriting the children have worked on b, k and h.
Last week in P.E, we practised our football skills. The children learnt to dribble around cones and practised our accuracy when kicking a ball into a net. On Friday this week, we had our Personal Best and the children enjoyed all the activities, helped by their buddies.The children also had the opportunity to go to our school library to share a book with their buddies as we spent the afternoon with them.
After half term our Show and Tell will start again. We have sent out a letter in the children's bags. For this round of show and tell, we would like your child to bring in something that interests them. This can be a hobby or a special interest they have. We welcome pictures, certificates, books, or even just them telling us all about it.
