Class: Otters (Reception) Year: 2021 - 2022

This week as artists we have drawn our buildings in readiness to start building them next week. To add additional detail we used charcoal, we agreed they all looked amazing.

In our maths work, we have been looking at the composition of 5 and learning our number bonds. We used a part-part-whole model to represent the different ways of making 5.

As scientists, we have been trying to free the penguins from the ice using tweezers and watching the different states of ice as it turned to water slowly throughout the day. We also enjoyed exploring our new light box an creating snowflakes using the gems.

In our phonics and written work we have started looking at the set 2 sounds 'ay''ee' 'igh' 'ow' 'oo' and 'oo' and using these sounds to write our Fred sentences. We have also used our amazing building pictures and written a description of what our building looks like.

This weeks poetry basket poem was 'Let's put on our mittens' ask your child to see if they can recite it for you.
