Reception Weekly News

This week in Drawing Club, we have been reading Elmer and the Wind by David McKee. We drew Elmer and the rainforest and designed a new hat to keep Elmer's ears tucked in! We also took Elmer and the birds on an exciting adventure, using adventurous vocabulary such as expedition, soared, mischief, interlink and echoing.

In Maths, we have been making patterns using different objects. We used five-frames and filled them with different numbers of objects, looking at how many spaces were left empty. This helped us explore the different number bonds to 5, such as 3 and 2. We also practised ordering numbers and counting forwards and backwards to 5.

Outside, we have been throwing beanbags into hoops, trying to fill them with the correct number of beanbags. We compared quantities and talked about which groups had more and which had less.

We are still searching for rainbows and haven't found any yet, but we have had lots of fun experimenting and creating our own magical rainbows in the garden!

We also used the class iPads to colour pictures of Elmer, which was lots of fun.

Have a wonderful half-term holiday. We look forward to seeing you all when we return!
