Numbers, numbers, numbers

Number work this week.

We have been consolidating our recognition and formation of numbers 1-10. And some of us have been adding two sets of numbers together.

Police dog visitors

Reception have been learning a lot about what we want to be / do when we grow up. We have been discussing being police officers, fire officers, ballet dancers, footballers, road workers, builders, IT specialists and many more. We looked at what skills we need to have to become these professions. 

We have learnt about people who help us and their jobs and have had police officers and police dogs in to visit.

We learnt all about their jobs, how they train and why they're so important to help us. We had such a fun time!

PE this week

We have learnt some exciting new skills in PE this week. Balancing, rolling and bouncing. We have used lots of different equipment to help us, basket balls, plastic balls and bean bags.

We are writers week

Reception are taking part in our 'we are writers' week. We are looking at what we'd like to do/be when we grow up. We have looked at different jobs and what kind of skills we need to have to be in that job.

We have decided we'd like to be police officers, fire fighters, ballet dancers, footballers, road workers, builders.....

We have done some writing to show what we'd like to do.

  Painting too...
