Reception Blog - Week Beginning 09.01.22

Date: 12th Jan 2023 @ 5:10pm

This week in Reception the children have been learning about the story 'Handa's Hen'. The children had great fun taking part in creating a story whoosh of the story, acting out the different scenes. The children worked hard in creating a story map in small groups, drawing the scenes from the story, in order and then labelling them using our phonics knowledge.

In our Maths learning we have been looking at comparing numbers to 5. We explored looking at dominos talking about which side had more spots and which side had less. We looked at sharing out equal amounts making sure the teddy bears had the same amount of food. 

In the afternoon the children had great fun learning all about Africa. We talked about all of the different animals you would see in Africa and discussed what clothes and accessories you would need for the lovely weather. The children got creative and made colourful, traditional patterned bracelets. Outdoors the children had fun creating a jeep safari, thinking about all of the animals and sounds they would hear in sunny Africa.
