Reception have been working hard to subitise 1 and 2. They have also been finding their own collections of 2. @WellesbourneSch

This week Reception would like to recommend the series of ‘Oi’ books by Kes Gray and Jim Field. They couldn’t just choose one as we love them all. The children recommend them because “they’re rhyming and they’re good to learn. They have so many rhyming words in.” 🐸🐶

We had a great time learning all about farm animals in science today. We linked them to all the animals we see in Croxteth Farm and loved talking about our visits to here. We also read ‘What the ladybird heard’which has lots of our farm animals in 🐖🐄 @WellesbourneSch

Marvellous maths fun, RSR. We competed against each other today to race for the 3D shape that was described or called out. We loved this! @WellesbourneSch

What great stick puppets created today! RSR. We used careful cutting skills to cut out our chosen animals (linking to our science) and stick sticks onto them. We had such fun role playing with these then ✂️🐖🐕🐈@WellesbourneSch

We enjoyed discussing if we would rather have a cat or dog in snack time today. What great oracy skills, Reception 💭 @WellesbourneSch

What fluffy sheep we created in our craft area today. Seeing as our science this week is all about farm animals, we collaged some cute sheep using clue and wool! 🐑 @WellesbourneSch

Brilliant pencil control skills today, RSR. Lots of us practised forming today’s sound in phonics/colouring pictures that start with the sound (K) and worked hard on pencil control (animal themed, linking to our science topic) ✍️ @WellesbourneSch

Brilliant number recognition skills today, RSR. We then made ‘pumpkins’ from play doh to add this amount to the tens frames 🎃🔢 @WellesbourneSch

What fun maths today! We built towers for Rapunzel, carefully choosing what 3D shapes would balance to make the best best tower and even hold Rapunzel.this took lots of talking about the 2D shape faces within each shape and lots of team work ⭐️😃 @WellesbourneSch

What amazing letter ‘d’ formation practise today, Reception. We also started our day by practising our pencil grip skills by drawing pictures beginning with the sound ‘d’ ✍️💫 @WellesbourneSch

Reception had such a fun snack time today - linking our ‘Would you rather?’ To our science this week. We discussed if we would rather be a Bumblebee or a wiggly worm 🐝🪱 @WellesbourneSch

Brilliant counting up to 5 using 1:1 correspondence, Reception. We are working hard on moving/pointing to objects as we say each number 🔢 @WellesbourneSch

We were great at listening to the initial sounds of our words and matching them up to the matching letter 📚 @WellesbourneSch

Using our fine motor skills to colour in pictures of objects that begin with today’s sound in phonics - ‘m’. Can you ask your child to tell you some words that start with any of the sounds that we have done so far? (s, a, t, p, i, n, m) ? 💭 @WellesbourneSch

Lots of RSR put their fine motor skills to the test today to create a mouse. There was lots of cutting involved ✂️Our phonics sound was ‘m’ today - so this was a cute way to turn the actual letter M into a cute mouse @WellesbourneSch 🐭

Super spooky phonics and fine motor skills in provision today, RSR 🕸️ we used tweezers to pick up and out spiders on pictures that started with the selected sound on each mat 🤏📚 @WellesbourneSch

In maths today, we explored what 2D shapes make the faces up within 3D shapes. We loved this game following - feeding the hungry shape monsters their matching shapes 🔴🔺▪️@WellesbourneSch

Such fun enjoying water play outside that little bit warmer, in the little bits of sunshine we get this autumn. We created potions and put fires out today! @WellesbourneSch

Using our fine motor/pencil control skills today, tracing around the owl outlines! Some of us even coloured our owls in, inspired by our book in Literacy 📖🦉✍️ @WellesbourneSch
