This week we focused on learning about spring! We looked at various websites and links on the weather changes during spring. We made collages of raindrops, butterflies and a spring tree. We also made rain clouds and made beautiful rainbows.
Literacy This week for letters and sounds we have been busy learning to listen to the initial sounds in words. We have also been practising our rhyming words with games. We are learning to recognise our names and we have been playing games such as "I spy someones's name beginning with 's' who can it be". | Maths This week we have been working hard on recognising numbers 1-10. We counted and added the right amount of raindrops to the umbrella. We also sorted flowers and butterflies into different sizes and colours. We decorated shapes and numbers with different materials. |
This week we have been continuing our topic of Festivals and Celebrations by learning about Thanksgiving. Reception has enjoyed looking at PowerPoint presentations, songs, stories and pictures of thanksgiving, as well as making paper plate turkeys. We have also thought about what we are thankful for and drew pictures in our writing journals of the things we are most thankful for.

In maths this week, we have been ordering the days of the week with the book by Colin Hawkins, Mr Wolf’s Week. We are also continuing to order numbers 1 to 20, practising patterns and looking at 2D and 3D shapes.
In literacy we have been looking at letter sounds /e/ and /u/ and have been finding out what objects begin with these letters and have enjoyed reading and colouring Elmer the Elephant. We are learning to segment and blend CVC words. Geraldine the Giraffe has helped us with our letter sounds this week.
We have been writing, discussing and drawing in our writing journals and looking at thanksgiving vocabulary.
We have been practising using wow words in sentences for Big Talk and we have been trying to read words in our guided reading lessons with the big books. We have also been discussing and answering questions about the story to develop our comprehension skills.
