24th January 2014

Reception

Over the last two weeks, the children have thoroughly enjoyed learning about the story of The Queen's Knickers and royalty. As a special request from the Queen, they have been designing and labelling a new pair of knickers for her! There have been some fantastic, original ideas. We have looked at different aspects of royalty, both past and present and this has helped the children to extend their general knowledge and explore new vocabulary. All the children and staff in Reception enjoyed dressing up as kings, queens, princesses, etc, and having a tea party in honour of the Queen.  We especially loved making and eating our homemade jam tarts! Thank you for your support with our dressing up day as well as the children's homework this week, we have had some great pictures and models of castles.

In maths, we have been working on numbers within 15, counting, ordering and finding one more and one less than a given number.

Next week we will be starting a new topic on Chinese New Year.

We have all had a busy week this week meeting parents and continuing to work very hard towards our SATs. The children are enjoying the adventures of Omri in The  Indian In The Cupboard and we are looking forward to seeing the finished projects at eh end of half term.
Just a reminder, My Maths homework has been set for the children and they have ALL been given password reminders. Spellings are given every week for testing on  Friday along with a mental maths test and a times tables test. Please make sure you know your tables year six.
