This week reception have continued learning about 3D shapes. We have been searching for 3D shapes in our classroom environment and experimenting with shapes to see if they roll or stack. We have then created an obstacle course using objects and identified what 3D shapes they are.

This afternoon reception have celebrated National Numeracy Day with a focus on money. We have spent the afternoon exploring money through guided activities and our provision. Well done reception you have been amazing! 

This week in maths reception have been learning all about 2D and 3D shapes. We have printed in the creative area to see which 3D shapes make 2D shapes and explored the relationship between them. We have also sorted everyday materials into the correct 3D shape, recognising, naming and identifying them. Great job 

Today, Reception have launched our Agents of Change focus.

We are so impressed with the vocabulary and ideas shared this morning. 

Reception showed off their amazing ball skills during PE today!
We controlled the ball using dribbling skills .

Reception have been continuing our RE learning of special stories. This afternoon we have learnt all about the Hindu story of Rama and Sita. Children have sequenced the story, created puppets, decorated diyas using oil pastels and painted the main characters by colour mixing. Great job today 

Today has been Shakespeare Day at St Oswald’s, reception learnt all about ‘Who was William Shakespeare and why was he a mover and shaker?’  Children wrote captions with key facts, constructed our own theatres in the style of The Globe, created portraits of the famous playwright and painted The Globe theatre by mixing colours. Great job superstars what a busy day
