Summer 2 Week 6 11.7.25
Hello!
This week in Understanding the World we have been talking about the transition to Year 1. We have explored how changes make us feel. We talked about the fact that it is absolutely ok to have lots of different feelings and that talking about our feelings helps us to make sense of them. We discussed what can help us if we are feeling worried, scared or confused. We have thought about the things we enjoy doing, what we are good at and what we’d like to improve at and also our hopes and wishes for the future.
This week in maths we have been doubling numbers and recognising numbers that are not doubles as well as those that are. We have used rekenreks and numicon pieces to make doubles, exploring odd and even numbers.
Next week in maths we will be practicing partitioning 5 in different ways and using what we know about 5 to work out hidden numbers.
Next week is of course our last week in school and it is a very busy week too! The theme of the week is Health Week and we will be learning about a variety of different ways to be healthy including looking after our teeth, how to eat healthily, washing hands and talking about different feelings. We will be making fruit kebabs and taking part in a dance session. On Tuesday we will take part in a Sports Gala and on Wednesday we have Fun Morning which should be lots of fun! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for dry weather. On Friday your child can bring a toy to school to play with. No electronics please. A busy and fun week to finish off a wonderful year in reception.
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
The Reception Team
