It is hard to believe another half term has flown by and next half term will be the final term in Reception for our boys. The boys have worked incredibly hard this half term and we are very proud of them!

In Literacy, the boys have been busy writing sentences. They included a capital letter, full stop and finger spaces.

In Maths, we have focussed on doubling and halving numbers.

A lovely parent from RMC made fruit pizzas with the boys.

For Show and Tell, please sing a song in front of the class. The Show and Tell boys are as follows:

Monday: Advik

Tuesday: Alexander

Wednesday: Austin

Thursday: Estefan

Friday: Ethan

Have a fantastic half term!

We have celebrated Mental Health Week this week. We talked about the importance of our mental health and discussed ways we could keep our minds healthy.

In Literacy, we listened to a story called, Titch by Pat Hutchins and then wrote sentences about the story.

During Maths, we have been focussing on doubling to 5. The boys challenged themselves by doubling numbers to 10. They did a great job!

For the Maths challenge this week, roll a die and double the numbers. You can also write the maths sentences.

The boys held the chicks this week.

Our trip to Knebworth House was fantastic!

Have a great weekend.

Reception welcomed little chicks this week! RMC decided to name a few chicks that have hatched. Their names are Eggy, Cutie, Lovely, and Samantha.

During Understanding the World and Literacy, we discussed the life cycle of a chick and wrote down the process.

In Maths we have been counting forwards and backwards to 20, looking at bigger numbers and how they are composed.

Practice this at home counting everyday things and trying to go backwards as well.

A lovely parent from RMC made yummy vegetable rice wraps with the boys.

The boys have recently enjoyed arts and crafts.

The theme for Show and Tell is ‘Growing’. Please bring in a picture of you as a baby. The Show and Tell boys for next week are as follows:

Monday: Advik

Tuesday: Umar

Wednesday: William

Have a great weekend!

During Literacy, the boys listened to the story, The very hungry caterpillar by Eric Carle. We discussed the main events in the story and ordered the story in our booklet.

In Maths, the boys have been learning to count forwards and backwards within 20, and recognise 1 more and 1 less of a given number.

For the Math challenge this week, have a go at a 1 more and 1 less game.

During Understanding the World, we talked about the changes that happen when we grow and completed a ‘growing’ sheet.

The boys enjoyed a visit from Mr Patel, who is a dentist. He explained the importance of looking after our teeth. He also demonstrated how to brush our teeth and we discussed foods that are healthy and unhealthy.

Lovely parents from RMC and RKZ, decorated biscuits with the boys this week!

In Welly Time, we explored the natural environment and used lopers.
