Overview - Week Beginning 17th January

Another amazing week in Reception this week!! I would like to say a super well done to Athens class who managed a BINGO week this week (full attendance!) I would also like to say a BIG thank you to Marshalls extended family in China who have sent us some amazing things for Chinese New Year - it was very exciting opening the boxes and looking at the beautiful decorations-our classrooms will look amazing next week!!

So next week.....our Topic continues with Chinese New Year - so lots of exciting things happening! Last week we told the children the story about the animals and discussed what China is like - this week we will be looking more at the traditions and the dragon dance and will also be sampling some Chinese food!!

Literacy this week continues with The Gingerbread Man - we will be following instructions to make gingerbread men - yum! If anybody has a gingerbread man cutter it would be great if we could borrow it as we only have one!!

Numeracy this week will look at addition. We will be using numicon to make number bonds of any numbers up to 10 and looking at how to write a number sentence (3+2=5).

In phonics this week we will be continuing looking ch-th-sh and ng - we will be going on a word hunt looking for words that contain those digraphs!

Gymnastics went really well last week - the children really enjoyed the apparatus - especially the wall bars!! I did take lots of photos - which I will get round to posting on here along with the dinner pictures!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and see you all on Monday!! :)

Thanks
The Reception Team

I'll send a cutter in. We made cheesybread men at the weekend since you were reading the story in class. Hope you have as much fun as we did doing the traditional version!
