Maths
This week we have been busy learning all about shapes. We have played lots of fun games such as ‘guess my shape’, I Spy, shape hunts and sorting. We know that there are lots of different ways to sort shapes according to size, sides, corners and types of shape. We have been using our knowledge of the properties of shapes to describe them to each other. We have learned that a corner is where two sides join together to make a point and that some shapes have straight sides, curved sides or even both! We had a lot of fun during explore time where we were spotting shapes in the environment.
Pancake day
During singing assembly this week, we learned a song all about pancakes. We know that this is the start of Lent which is the build up to Easter. We talked lots about our favourite pancake toppings and had so much fin making them! They tasted great!
Phonics
This week we are reviewing all of the learning we have done so far in Reception. We are focusing on some of the digraphs and trigraphs that we find tricky. There have been lots of games of bingo, roll and read boards and even matching games.
How you can help at home:
- Talk about Pancake day – maybe have a go at making them or writing a recipe
- You might like to watch some of the Chinese New Year celebrations on TV or even live up in London over half term
- Continue reading every day and practising the phonics sounds as well as the harder to read and spell words that we have sent home
- Have a fun filled week!
