Reception Blog - Week Beginning 10.10.22

Date: 14th Oct 2022 @ 8:37pm

This week in Reception the children have enjoyed learning about traditional foods. In our English learning we have been looking at a story called 'The Runaway Chapatti'. The children have been super Teachers this week as they have been sequencing the story in order, using the language "First, next, then, after that and finally".

In our Maths learning this week, the children have had fun by looking at patterns. The children worked hard all week by making a repetitive pattern. We looked at our patterns in detail, using the language  "Green leaf, red leaf" "Tall block, short block". We made sure that we had to use the language for our patterns to be right. Parents you could use household objects to make a pattern, using the language "Tall spoon, short spoon". 

In our afternoon learning we have enjoyed having the parents in making chapatis and lentils on the Year 3 art bar. The children also got involved by using their imagination in the home area by mixing, stirring and kneading the dough. As a class we talked about our family members and what our families makes at home. The children then drew pictures of their family and their favourite foods using the grapheme mat and phonemes we have been practicing in Phonics. 

Well done Reception!
