This week in Reception, we have been using the story ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’ to inspire us to create our own stories. The children came up with a fantastic selection of ideas, such as the three spiders who had to cross the mountain to get to Peppa Pig World. After orally rehearsing the stories they had created, children were invited to have a go at producing a book of their tale.
In mathematics, we have been recapping our number bonds to five. We have extended our learning by looking at different ways we can represent these number bonds. The children even wrote number sentences after seeing them modelled. They were challenged to find all of the different number bonds of five. They worked as a class to decide that using a systematic way would be the most effective way to uncover all the possibilities.
On Friday after lunch, we returned to the classroom to find a giant beanstalk had grown! The children quickly started looking for clues as to how this could have happened. We will keep you updated on their progress!
