We have certainly made the most of the sunshine this week and have enjoyed lots of different activities on the field. Reception continue to amaze us with their kindness and empathy towards one another and how they are learning to be resilient and problem solve together. Nursery joined us too and it was lovely to see how proud Reception were to be role models for our younger children!

What have we been learning this week?

Maths: This week we have been exploring numbers that are ‘5 and a bit’ and have been looking at how these numbers can be represent on a double dice frame. We are getting so speedy with our number facts now and have been recognising amounts (e.g. patterns on a dice, how objects are grouped or arranged) all around the room! Challenge time: I wonder what amounts you can see at home or when you are out for a walk?

RE: This week we have been reflecting on the Easter story and thinking about Jesus’s resurrection. We enjoyed acting out the story to help us think about how Jesus and his disciples must have felt. Now we are busy re-telling the story which we will display and share in our RE floor book.
