This week we have continued with our dinosaur topic; the children have learned which dinosaurs were carnivore and only ate meat and which dinosaurs were herbivores and only ate plants. We have also looked at fossils and learned all about how fossils are formed and where we can find them!

In Drawing Club, we read ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. The children were familiar with the story and enjoyed joining in and reading along. There has been a lot of role play of the story in the classroom with some good re-enactments of the ‘Big, Bad wolf’ and ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ characters.

In Maths we have been learning about measure and pattern. The children have compared mass using objects in the classroom on balancing scales. We spoke about which objects were the heaviest and which were the lightest. We also compared capacity of different sized boxes and looked at describing simple patterns.

We have introduced new sounds /b/, /c/ and /h/ in our phonics lessons and have built and read words using all the sounds taught so far such as sob, bat, cat, hat and hop.

In PE we have been working on hopping, jumping, and throwing skills.

Have a great weekend,

The Reception Team
