Reception Weekly Blog (9.10.20)

Date: 9th Oct 2020 @ 3:15pm

This week our activities have been inspired by harvest and the story ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’ by Vivian French.

We have talked to the children about and sorted vegetables that grow above and below the ground; the children have used vegetables and paint to print a repeating pattern; they have re-told the story of ‘Oliver’s vegetables’ in role play and have been for a vegetable hunt around the ROLA; each child helped to prepare the vegetables to make vegetable soup. We talked about how healthy vegetables are, and everyone had a try of the delicious soup, with many children asking for a second helping!

We have started to explore number 3 this week, we have loved learning about triangles. See if you can find some number 3’s and triangles at home. We would love to hear about it on a ‘Good News’ slip.

As we continue to learn our Set 1 speed sounds, please ensure children are regularly practising the ones we have learnt so far at home. Being able to recognise the pure sound of ‘m,a,s,d,t,i,n will really help when we start to blend these sounds for reading. If you are unsure of the correct pronunciation of each sound take a look on the Reception page for video guidance. Many thanks for your support.

We are looking forward to learning all about farming next week with a focus on the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’

Take a look with your child/ren at the selection of photographs we have put on, of the first weeks in school.

Enjoy your weekend 😊
