Reception has new challenge areas in class.

For any future authors out there, we have a small publishing house set up in class! Today, we learned what characters are and what a title page is. We could choose a book to write in and a character to write about. We have to roll three times and add up the total amount. That […]

Reception Maths. Spatial Reasoning

Reception are taking each other out to lunch in pairs this week. The only catch is that they have to copy exactly how their partner lays the table! It’s harder than it looks.

Mr Gumpy’s Outing helps us with our maths.

First, now and then. All words that help us retell our number stories. Then we used the Pirate ships that Kate had made for us to help us with more number problems.

Reception recap

Reception are going back over their learning and looking again at 2D and 3D shapes in a variety of ways. They are getting very good at describing their features and sorting them into different categories.

Catch the train!

Reception children have to complete addition and subtraction problems in order to climb the stairs to get to the platform. The winner gets to push ALL the buttons! A big thank you to all Reception families for working on writing numerals at home this week. We were all very confident playing Bingo this morning!

Understanding the World in Reception

We have been applying our maths knowledge to observe our ducklings by creating tallies of the amount of times that they eat or drink water.

Maths in Reception

3D shapes…they’re everywhere! They are also quite tricky to say the names of but we are trying our hardest. We think sphere and our friend Sofia’s name are very similar!

Art in Reception

We have explored Cubism and the artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. We learned that another artist called Henri Matisse saw Georges Braque’s work and described it as being made up of ‘little cubes’! Then, an art movement was named.

Maths This Half Term

There is lots of interesting Maths going on this half term. From algebra in Year 6, to measurement in Year 3, to building to 8 in Reception class. Across the school, our investigations will be focussed on “Working Backwards”. Year 5 have already got their teeth stuck into ‘the cheese machine’ , whilst year 4 […]

More maths fun in Reception

We have been investigating counting in 10s to get up to big numbers (like Ms Steer’s age!). We have also recapped making 9 and 10 in different ways AND writing number sentences in our playground maths with fabulous Kate. Impressive as it’s only Tuesday 👍Reception class, I am so proud of you!
