Week ending Friday 26th January, 2024
Dear Families,
Thank you to all those parents who were able to join us for our Family Friday!
his week we completed our 'Clean Up!' topic by answering the question 'How can we help the environment?' The children learned about the three types of pollution and the importance of recycling. We were even lucky enough to have someone from Hackney Council tell us how we can make sure we protect our school environment. We have been exploring subtraction within 10 this week in maths. The children comfortably used their new mathematical vocabulary and explore different methods to help them solve equations.
Have a lovely weekend!
Best wishes,
The Reception Team
