Summer term week 4

Posted: May 17, 2021 by: M Turner (m.turner) on: Reception Blog

We have had a bit of a busy week in Reception this week. We have looked at the celebration of Ramadan and Eid. The children listened to a story and watched a few CBeebies videos about Eid and Ramadan. Throughout the provision the children have had opportunities to make Eid cards, decorations, and Mehndi patterns. One of our children brought in her prayer mat and talked to us about how she celebrates, she also shared some chocolates with us. Thank you!

Our literacy has continued on the lines of Jack and the Beanstalk but with a twist. We asked the children to look at their story maps and change different aspects of it, so instead of finding a castle at the top some found caves, Schools, towns, and cities. They also changed what they may steal.

Our Maths we are embedding 1 more/ 1 less and looking at teen numbers, saying whether they are odd/even, and the different ways we can make them.

The children really enjoyed our music lesson this week. We introduced them to a few instruments and then took turns to play them within a beat of a song.

A big focus in school is reading, we listen to all the children read within the unit at least once a week. As you can imagine getting through all the children it takes time. We would encourage you to help us! Could you read with your child at least 4 times a week. We understand how busy family life is, you could get your child to read to you whilst making tea or even swap your bedtime story for them reading a little bit to you! Any little time helps.

Have a lovely weekend

The Reception team
