Reception - English - Writing a Sentence
This half-term, we are focusing on writing simple captions and sentences. Each morning, the children will write the stem sentence “I can see” and use their phonetic knowledge to spell different objects. We will be observing their ability to construct phonetically plausible sentences and form letters correctly.
Reception - Maths - One More Than
Today, the children engaged in a hands-on counting activity using ten frames and pom-poms while listening to the story Mouse Count. Each child was given their own ten frame and a selection of objects to use as manipulatives. As the story was read aloud, the children actively participated by adding one more object to their ten frame each time a new mouse was added in the story. They demonstrated careful counting, one-to-one correspondence, and an increasing awareness of number sequences. Some children excitedly anticipated the next number, while others carefully placed each object, checking their total as they went. This activity helped reinforce counting skills in a meaningful and engaging way, encouraging children to connect the story with mathematical concepts. The children enjoyed the interactive experience, showing confidence and enthusiasm as they filled their ten frames.
