My goodness is it Friday already?What another busy week we have had.
This week we have been learning about Ladybirds, which has been a wonderful experience for our class as we are Ladybird class.
We have had fun labelling a ladybird and learning all about their parts.
Have a look at this ladybird to see the different parts:
We have also looked at the lifecycle of a ladybird and made our own during learning time.
We have made our own ladybirds, coloured, painted and decorated them too.
We have also counted and added up the spots on a ladybird for our number work this week.
In Numeracy this week we have been learning about doubles. We have learnt that a double is a number that you can add with the same number e.g. 1+1= 2+2=
The children have really taken to this and have decided that using their fingers is a really easy method for them. (up to 10 of course)
There are lots of games that you can play using doubles at home.
These include using:
-dice
-dominoes
-playing cards
In phonics this week we are becoming more confident in writing cvcc words. This is a hard task, so we will carry on with this with our Phonics work.
Here are a few pictures of other things that we have done this week:
Bethany made a wonder pattern using the counters
on her ladybird
Rubie is watering the plants in the playground
Jayden made a pattern using the pattern blocks
Zak made a minibeast using play doh
Unfortunately due to bad weather yesterday we were unable to go to the Reception sports day. The children were all so disappointed so we decided not to waste the coaches and use them to go on a scenic trip along the seafront. From the coach window the children saw the sea, the waterways, the Sealife centre, the Marina centre and the Pleasure beach.
Along with the excitement this gave the children lots of speaking and listening opportunities which they won't forget in a long time.
Thank you all for a lovely week and we look forward to learning next week.
