After reading the story of ‘The Three Little Pig's’ Rosie used the lightbox to make her own house.  We love the colours that shine through on the box. 

This week in Reception we have been using our ‘maths eyes’ to look at small groups of objects and say, without counting, how many there are! The children have loved playing games to subitse. 

We started our first guided reading session of this half term by solving a jigsaw puzzle of the front cover our new focus book.

This week we have been exploring repeats in songs and stories. We have also been using objects and paints to make line patterns and repeated patterns. 

Year 1- Painting 

We have been learning about the different parts of a paintbrush in art today. We have been gluing the different pieces of paper into our sketchbooks ready to paint. 

To introduce our new book, The Three Little Pigs, the children were shocked to discover someone had made a terrible mess in our classroom! The suspect left footprints and left lots of straw and sticks laying around! We came up with a plan about who had committed such terrible crimes, we thought it…

We have been exploring patterns and repeats.  Using stones and pebbles we made some firework patterns, carefully following lines, developing their visual accuracy and fine motor skills.  

Sharing our work or news from home is a very special time for us in Nursery.  This week we are enjoying time to share our half term news. Many children have been very busy with Halloween and Bonfire Night celebrations.  Thank you children, we love learning all about you!  

As part of our work on The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark we had a visit from Lancashire

The Social Signature School Council met with Pete & Helen Hawkin to discuss the next stage of development with the Social Signature booklet. 
 

Children were asked to vote and have their say with the superhero character and the layout and images in the booklet. 
 

Discussion was held…

Final stars of the week for this first half term in Reception.  

This week Reception have been looking at numbers 1 2 and 3.  We sorted various ways of showing the numbers as class, the children then did in small groups before finally bring left to explore themselves.
