Reception
Easter
Reverend Sarah came to visit us in the week to tell us the Easter story.
We are all looking forward to going to church on Friday to celebrate Easter.
World Book Day
Book Day 2023
The children in Reception thoroughly enjoyed dressing up as their favourite character for World Book day.
We shared lots of stories during the day and enjoyed the book swap afternoon.
Reception can’t wait to use their World book voucher and choose a book.
Maths Day
Maths Day 2023
What a busy maths day we had.
The day started with us showing our maths hats. There were some fantastic designs and lots of numbers on our hats.
One of our maths challenges for the day was to make an assault course outside and time how quickly we could navigate the bikes around it. The children made waiting lists and numbered their places in the queue, then we used a timer to see how quickly we could get around the course.
In the classroom we made playdough, measured out the ingredients we needed and mixed it all up to make the playdough. We had great fun rolling out the playdough and using different sized cutters to make numbers and shapes.
In continuous provision we matched up some eggs that had the same number on them and then put the same amount inside the egg.
We enjoyed some maths stories and sang lots of counting songs.
Maths day was FUN.
Maths
This week we had a try at solving some simple word problems and used our knowledge of addition and subtraction to solve them.

We read the story of Jaspers beanstalk by Nick Butterworth and have planted our own beans in a pot of soil. Every day we are responsible for watering our own bean pot and are going to have a competition in our class to see whose bean stalk grows the tallest. We are wondering if we can make our beanstalks reach the sky!
