Have a Happy Half Term

Spooky Maths: We looked at adding different amounts together using the spooky creatures and cauldron.

 

After half term we will be learning about ‘Houses and Homes’. On Wednesday we looked at different types of houses and designed and made our own buildings.

 

Don’t forget our Maths Workshop and drop in session on Friday the 9th November. If you cannot make it, please let us know and we will send home your son’s books for you to look at over the weekend.

Please take a look at the ‘Been there, Done it’ blog, we have been looking at it in class and Mrs Price would love to hear how you are all getting on with the challenges.

 The boys have been working really well as a team and collected all of the pieces for Mrs Potato Head so as a special treat we watched some of Madagascar and had some popcorn! A fantastic first half term for everyone! Well done boys, keep up the hard work.

Autumn Leaves

After hearing the story ‘Leaf man’, we went outside looking for him. We decided to collect our own leaves and make our own leaf men.

 

We discussed our sense of touch this week and described different textures. We made our own texture books which we will display in our classroom. We also used our sense of smell to guess what’s in the pot!

 

For number 8 this week, we made our own spiders (making sure they had 8 legs!).

 

We saw the gardeners clearing up all the leaves around school, so we decided to lend them a hand and collect the leaves in our Reception garden. We found some wiggly worms but don’t worry… we put them in a safe place!

 

We started Welly Time on Wednesday, 10 boys went and the other 10 will go next week. The boys went on a bear hunt and created a big bear using natural materials.

In the morning the boys come in, take their reading record and book out of their book bags and place it in the correct coloured box, they then put their book bag away. If they are not sure what colour box, they can check the star on their reading record.

Fun outside in the garden this week:
