Reception

Addition and Subtraction

Reception students practiced addition and subtraction through fun, hands-on activities. Using blocks, beads, and classroom objects, they learned how to put numbers together and take them apart. These simple games helped children build confidence, improve problem-solving, and understand how numbers work in everyday life.

 Make a Paper Wolf

As part of their literacy and art lesson, Reception students created a paper wolf inspired by the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf. After listening to the tale, the children discussed the moral of the story and then used paper folding and cutting to design their own wolves.

This activity encouraged creativity, fine motor skills, and imagination, while also helping the children connect storytelling with hands-on learning. The paper wolves proudly displayed in the classroom remind students about the importance of honesty, just like in the story.

New Toys in Reception

Reception students are excited to explore new toys in the classroom. From building blocks to pretend play sets, the toys offer plenty of opportunities for fun and learning. During playtime, children can build, create stories, and work together, which helps them develop imagination, social skills, and problem-solving abilities. These new toys make playtime more engaging while supporting the children’s growth and creativity.

 Learn About Different Types of Food

In our recent lesson, Reception students explored the different types of food that keep our bodies healthy and strong. The children were introduced to food groups such as grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and proteins, as well as carbohydrates that give us energy.

Through pictures, real food samples, and interactive discussions, students learned how each type of food plays an important role. For example, vegetables and fruits provide vitamins, grains and carbohydrates give us energy to play and learn, while dairy helps us build strong bones.

This activity not only expanded their vocabulary but also encouraged healthy eating habits. By understanding the value of different foods, the children are beginning to make connections between what they eat and how it helps them grow.
