We have been learning all about capacity in Reception. We have been working hard to understand and use the language of capacity including, full, half full, empty, nearly empty, nearly full. The children were amazing at showing their learning in their own play.
We have enjoyed doing lots of fun maths activities this week. We have loved doing some practical things and we were being human scales and finding things that were heavier and lighter.
We had so much fun and it was lovely to hear the children using the correct mathematical vocabulary in the lesson, but then in their play too.
Well done everyone

On Tuesday we designed our own plant pots and critiqued them so that it would be our best work, thinking about a beautiful design and keeping it neat. On Wednesday we had so much fun painting our own plant pots based on our designs, we worked hard to make sure they matched our designs and used fine paintbrushes to make sure we could get all the details on.
Well done to these children for showing us all the character traits of being a Crew champion. You deserve this and we are so proud of you.

Well done to these children for being our HOWL point winners this week. Keep up the great work!

This week, as we have been learning about Chinese New Year, we added this into our maths session. We had a go at saying and writing numbers to 10 in Chinese.
The children worked collaboratively to work out the chinese symbol that matched to the correct number.
Well done Class 3

We had such fun doing our Zumba session this week with Mrs Raynor. In Expedition we have been learning about how our bodies grow. We now know that exercise is a really important part of that. So, instead of just talking about it, we had a go ourselves.
Well done everyone and a big thank you to Mrs Raynor for teaching us some awesome dances.
