Spring Term
Goals!
Following on from our Jigsaw work last week - Reception have been working hard on setting themselves goals and working together to achieve them. I set them a challenge to build a tower using spaghetti and blutac... It was tricky!! The children have really enjoyed using the stacker cups, lots of talk and compromise to build the tallest tower
Shapes with 4 sided
In maths Reception have been learning about shapes with 4 sides. The children found it great fun finding squares and rectangles around the classroom. I wonder if they could find any at home? Please post on Tapestry any shapes they find around the house.
Tracks and Trails
Starting our 'tracks and trails' theme Reception this week have been exploring planet earth through google earth, we zoomed in to find England and then talked about were we all live in Scunthorpe. We learnt about maps and went looking for some features from our school map.
Purple Mash
Today Reception continued their learning on Purple Mash - our IT program. The children could all use their own passwords to login. They could follow instructions and explore different locations in simple city program
