At the start of the week we listened to the Traditional Tale, ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, The boys cut out and sequenced the story. Afterwards they added fantastic captions for their pictures.
This week we celebrated British Science week. The boys had a visit from a Computer scientist who told them all about making robots and games. The boys were also introduced to the Science poster competition. Please bring your entries to the Pre Prep foyer to post in the Science Poster box. On Wednesday Reception took part in an engaging workshop called ‘Me and my Senses’. They visited many stations and completed hospital themed activities with help from people in white coats!
Reception also experimented with making their own bubble wands and blowing bubbles outside:
During Maths, the boys were excited to learn about money. They learnt that coins have different values according to their number and colour ranging from bronze to gold. We compared this to the Olympic medals. We visited some ‘shops’, played ‘Money bingo’ and played ‘Guess the coins’.
The maths homework task this week is as follows:
Could you please visit a real shop to buy some small items such as sweets that cost less than £1 or 50p. Take a range of coins with you and practise counting in ones, twos and tens. Furthermore, if you have a toy till at home, practise using coins to buy different items. Have fun!
To end our week we took part in ‘Bounce’. Every boy was involved in three different activities throughout the day. They had lots of fun whilst also thinking critically, persevering and working as a team. Some boys taking part in the ‘Super Trail’ are pictured below:
