Last Week in Reception

Last week in Reception we finished our work on the book 'Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs go to School'. We retold the story in our own words using the pictures to help us (pictures in books are also called illustrations) and then we changed some of the words so that the story was a little bit different. We then acted out these stories to the rest of the class. Some of our titles included:

"Bella and the bunch of buttercups go to Brighton";

"Charlie and the rocket go to space".

In Numeracy we learnt how to order numbers: some of us learnt this using numbers 1-5, some of us worked with the numbers 1-10 and some of us even ordered numbers up to 25!

We also began our daily phonics sessions and so far we have learnt the sounds that 's', 'a', 't' and 'p' make. We know that snake begins with 's', Asda begins with 'a', tennis begins with a 't' and a 'p' word is pink!

We are looking forward to next week when we begin to look at the story of 'Elmer' and we also explore the idea of more and less than a group of objects or a number.
