Friday 22nd September

This week we have been sorting in maths. We have  sorted buttons, toys, natural materials and even the children! We are trying very hard to explain how we have sorted. We have also been doing lots of counting and working out how many we have altogether.

We have been naming the characters and talking about the phrases they use when they arrive for the party in our Power of Reading book So Much! We have experienced many birthday parties in our home corner this week.

We have started to learn about our senses and this week we have explored the sense of touch through feely bag activities and by sorting materials into groups depending on their texture.

We have recapped the difference between fruit and vegetables and have talked about which part of the plant the fruit or vegetable comes from. We have also examined the seeds in fruits using magnifying glasses.

In circle time we brought in objects that were special to us and we shared these with the class.

Reception children have been working hard to learn their letter sounds and write letters using the correct letter formation.

In our art work this week we have used felt pens to make different lines and today we have printed using objects that have different textures.

15th September, 2023

This week we have been learning to name and label parts of our body. We had a lovely body part hunt in the garden and we drew around each others bodies with chalk on the yard. In our maths work we have been learning to match and make sets of objects. We have been naming and sorting fruit and vegetables and the nursery children made a lovely fruit salad for snack today. 

In our art work we have been drawing pictures with wax crayons using a variety of lines as well as printing with fruit and vegetables.

In Reception we have been learning the letter sounds m, a, s, d and t.
