This week in Reception, we have been discussing the different weather as part of our daily calendar. We have found it very interesting and keep changing our weather window symbol – it has been quite funny swapping it from cloudy, to sunny, to rainy! It has prompted a lot of discussion about how quickly the weather changes and why we need to bring our coats to school everyday!
We have had a super busy week with maths – we have been noticing that maths is everywhere! Each day we sing a Days of the Week song and we’ve started doing a Months of the Year song. We add straws to a cup where we count how many days there are in each month. We have even been grouping the straws to make a ’10’ and then counting on from them. We are getting the hang of this now.
This week is Walk to School Week. We have discussed the different ways we all travel to school and why it is important to try to walk, scoot or cycle if we can. We know that it is important because “It’s good for our bodies to exercise”. We have had a lot of fun collecting the data and counting to see how well we are doing. We hope to turn this week into good habits, even if it is for one or two days a week.
This week we have also thought lots about Bees as we celebrated World Bee Day. We spent some time learning interesting facts about Bees and then used this in our forest sessions. We had a lot of fun. Ask us about our Bee facts! You can learn more here: https://www.bbka.org.uk/news/world-bee-day-may?srsltid=AfmBOornJJ0YVeZPFtn20LBBAzIQ-aQ8KY2QIQo_DvEJADtmzRqy21NS
