Reception - WB 29.1.24

Date: 2nd Feb 2024 @ 3:58pm

Good Afternoon,

Thanks to all who were able to attend our second parent workshop, focusing on personal development. It was great to see such a good turn out.

We have focused our afternoon learning on toys from the past this week, as part of our EYFS Curriculum. We have been looking at how toys have changed and how toys that we play with now, are different than the ones that children played with in the past. We looked at how we can tell the difference between old and new toys, by identifying what material they are made of and what the toy does. 

During maths we have explored different ways of making 5 by using the STEM sentence '5 is made of ____ and ____. Again, we have used the Numberblocks to help us understand different ways to make 5 and recall these using our fingers and resources.

We have had lots of time for reading this week, including Mighty Writer story time, buddy reading time and a focus on the story 'You Choose' during Circle time. During Learning Time, lots of children have been observed practising their story telling skills with their peers.

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Davies
