This week in Reception we have enjoyed another busy week!
In English, we enjoyed reading ‘Wishy-Washy Day’. We learned some new sight words; ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘said’ and ‘in’ and tried to spot these while reading the story.
The animals did not want to be washed on washing day! The children enjoyed the ending of the story when Mrs Wishy-Washy slipped on a bar of soap and fell in the animals bath tub! We then decided to write a letter to Mrs Wishy-Washy to cheer her up as she was understandably ‘grumpy’. The children had some creative ideas and wrote their own letters to her.
In phonics, we have practised segmenting and blending the sounds in simple words. We worked hard to hear all the sounds and then say them in robot talk. Ask your child to show you their roboting skills!
In Maths, we have been learning about patterns. We have practised making our own patterns with various materials and even painted some patterns on clothing templates to make our own ‘washing line’.
We practised counting and number recognition too!
