This week in Reception...

,,,Mrs Gleave and myself have been totally blown away by the maturity and hard work shown by our Reception pupils!  They have worked incredibly hard in Literacy writing parts of their stories based upon the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  I have sent a copy of their story maps home so they can tell you their story.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we have!  Please do feel free to come in and read their wonderful writing!

In Numeracy we have been using a number line to solve addition and subtraction sums.  The children have amazed me with their confidence and care!  Mrs Riley was also very impressed to see they had even begun to solve word problems!  Well done everyone! 

How we solve sums using a number line

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

10 + 5 = __

First to look at the first number in the sum and circle it.

Next we look at the symbol.  This tell us which way to jump.

Then we look at the second number and complete that many jumps (remembering to jump the correct way!)

Finally we write the answer (the number we have landed on).

Example of a number problems – Miss Goff has 8 biscuits.  She eats 6.  How many does she have left?

Should you wish to practise further there are lots of games on www.ictgames.com.

In Phonics we have been looking at the sounds ow (cow) and ou (out).

In RE we have been looking at how Jesus chose his disciples and we have talked about why his friends were special to him.

We had great fun on Friday morning during our tennis lesson!  A lot of the children stated ‘I can’t play tennis it’s too hard’ before we went outside.  But they listened well, persevered and they were delighted with the results of their hard work!  We will continue to develop our skills further next week.

Well done on a super week Reception!  You have made me incredibly proud this week!  Have a lovely weekend!
