They have invesigated different signs and symbols we might find on maps or in the environment and we have carried out different activities in our local park including observational drawings of plants and flowers and orienteering.

This week in C4, our assembly focused on the month of Ramadan. We looked at why Muslims fast and what we learn during this month. We also recapped on the five pillars of Islam, to see which we could remember.
We have been busy making Eid cards to give to our friends and family. We decorated Islamic patterns and used them to decorate our cards. The bright array of cards looked fantastic, and we hope you enjoyed receiving them.
We ended the week with an Eid party to mark the end of Ramadan. We dressed up in our best clothes and had great fun playing different party games.

We also made our own maps and have started to label them with initial sounds.

Reception Weekly Blog WB 10.5.2021

This week Reception were very excited to welcome the chicks into our classes. They arrived on Monday and we put them straight into the incubator. We didnt have to wait long before the chicks started to peck their way out of their shells. Once one arrived the rest followed very quickly. When they had dried out we transferred them to the brooder and we are very excited for next week when they will be strong enough to hold.
To help us to understand the life cycle of the chicks we have been looking at a non-fiction book - Egg to Chick - in English.We have discussed how non fiction books are laid out and have found lots of facts inside them.
In Maths we have started 3 weeks of learning about First, Then and Now. We have been looking at stories that involve looking at a group of characters and adding on one, then more than one to find the total at the end.

This week Reception were very excited to come into school on Monday to find that their caterpillars had got VERY fat and that some had even turned into a chrysalis! We used the magnifying glasses to have a very close look at them. By the end of the week we transferred them to the butterfly net and now we just have to wait for them to emerge!
We did some great English learning about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We sequenced the story and described the character through the different stages of his life.
In Maths we did some tricky learning with numbers up to 20. We used 10s frames and other representations to see what each numeral looked like in lots of different ways.

This week in Class 4, we have had a great time exploring magnets in Science. We began by looking at what a magnet is and what it does.
Looking at a range of different objects, we sorted them into magnetic and non-magnetic objects. The magnetic objects would stick to the magnet and the non-magnets one would not.
Were first thought that all metal objects would be magnetic but we were surprised to find out that only some metals are magnetic.
We had a great time going around the classroom trying to find different magnetic and non-magnetic objects.

This week in class 3 we have been learning all about magnets and exploring the different materials that are magnetic and which are not.
We went around the classroom using magnets to look at which objects were attracted to the magnets.
We worked really hard to and had lots of fun! We found that an object must contain metal for it to be magnetic, but that not all metals are magnetic.
We can
