Our Reception children had the most amazing adventure during their visit to the London Aquarium! From the moment they stepped inside, their faces lit up with excitement as they discovered colourful tropical fish, graceful stingrays, and even magnificent sharks swimming right above their heads. The children loved exploring the underwater tunnels, learning fascinating facts about sea creatures, and sharing their excitement with friends and teachers throughout the day. It was a wonderful opportunity to spark curiosity, encourage learning, and create unforgettable memories together. We are so proud of how beautifully the children behaved and how enthusiastically they embraced this exciting experience!Â
This week in Reception, our focus book has been Jasper's Beanstalk. The children have enjoyed following Jasper's journey and learning all about the lifecycle of a bean. We explored how beans grow and what they need to thrive, and each child planted their own bean to care for and observe as it grows. We can't wait to watch them sprout!
In maths, we have been learning about odd and even numbers, practising sharing equally, and exploring doubles to 10. The children have enjoyed using practical resources to investigate these concepts and develop their understanding through play and problem-solving.
