The Reception children have been busy exploring the world of heroes, both real and fictional! Last week, they delved into the realm of real-life superheroes, reading non-fiction books to discover how these individuals help others and the tools they use. The children then put their knowledge to work, crafting their own "It is a..." sentences to describe these inspiring figures. This week, the focus shifted to the whimsical world of "Superworm," prompting lively character descriptions and a variety of worm-themed activities.
Beyond literacy, the Reception class has been developing their historical thinking skills, using detective work to distinguish between artifacts from the past and present. They've also been nurturing their artistic talents, putting the finishing touches on the collages they've been diligently creating over the past few weeks. In maths, the children have been learning about addition with jottings and using the language of 'more', 'less' and 'equal to' when describing groups of objects.
