The Latest Nursery Learning Update!

This week we continued with our topic,’ Ready Steady Go! We focused on the book titled, ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’. We learned some new vocabulary across all areas of learning and used it in sentences.

In maths, we focused on using different 2D shapes to make new shapes or pictures such as houses, rockets and boats. We learned to describe 2D shapes first as being flat and also using the language ‘sides’ and ‘corners’.

In phonics, some of us continued exploring the concept of alliteration and others learned new letter sounds. We have been learning to blend sounds to read and write, making mental notes of the ‘Harder to Read and Spell’ words.

In understanding the world, we have been exploring how things work and we looked at magnets. We were fascinated with the attraction and repulsion of the different parts of the magnet.

In Physical development, we have been practising and getting ready for our Sports Day on Monday. We are very excited to show off our team work and PE skills to everyone.

The Latest Reception Learning Update!

 Thank you for all of your support with helping your children learn their lines for the class assembly. They loved performing in front of all of you!

In English this week, we have been reading the book ‘The Wonderful Things you will be’. We have looked at the rhyming couplets in the book and even thought of our own! We answered questions about the book and write our goals for Year 1.

In Maths this week, we have learnt how to use Cuisenaire Rods. We used our mathematical reasoning to explain which rods were equivalent and why.

In UTW and PSED this week, we discussed people who help us in our community. We thought about what we wanted to be when we grow up and gave reasons for our choices.

In EAD, we drew our family, like we did at the start of the year, and discussed how our skills have improved. 

We hope to see you on Sport’s Day on Monday the 8th July!
