Reception - WB 27.11.23

Date: 1st Dec 2023 @ 4:41pm

Good Afternoon,

We've had a lovely week this week, which included a visit from the Fire Service. Following our learning on 'People Who Help Us', we have enjoyed meeting the fire fighters and asking them questions about what they do. We were given a tour of the fire engine, got to sit inside and also had a go at using the hose. It was such a lovely experience and the children were so thrilled. Thanks to Matthew's dad Matt, who was one of the firefighters that came and arranged the visit.

During our maths this week, we have been looking at how we can represent numbers to 5 in different ways. We focused our learning around the Numberblocks episode 'Stampolines' and learnt how the Numberblocks can be arranged in different ways, but still represent the same number. We had our own go at printing and representing numbers - see the picture on Twitter/ X.

We have finished our Literacy story this week and have been focusing on spelling simple 3 letter words correctly, using our phonics skills. Some children have been applying the 'special friends' sounds they know too, including ch and sh.

We've also made a fantastic start to our Christmas Play this week. We've been learning songs and lines, aswell as learning all the dance moves and actions. The children have been fantastic so far and have remembered all the words. We went on the stage for our first practice on Friday - we can't wait for you all to see it!

Have a great weekend - enjoy Ho Ho Helsby on Saturday, if you are able to make it.

Mrs Davies
