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!

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...

Friday Post 3: My busy body

We have listened to and started to learn songs related to our bodies and as a group worked together to label different parts of the body.

Have a look at some of our efforts...


We have taken part in activities related to our bodies and all the things we can do...

Dribbling ball between cones


Working with a partner: throwing and catching

Aiming at a target


Great aiming!


Super effort!

We also talked about the effects of activities on our bodies.

Walking through the garden, what shall we see?


Cooperative, outdoor learning


Hands-on practical investigation


Communicating our ideas and asking questions


Recording our findings using mark making


Creating skeletons and using vocabulary to talk about body parts


Consolidating our physical skills, using tools to manipulate and develop hand strength


Independent learning opportunities to encourage creative thinking and application of key skills


Using skills and making choices


Describing what we have made and presenting our efforts to others


Being imaginative and engaging in sustained activity

Another very busy Friday. Well done to all for making a great effort!
