Reception Newsletter

This week in Reception, we have been looking at the story of The Rainbow Fish. The children have done some lovely writing and they have been using some wonderful vocabulary related to the book, during the school day. We've heard children discussing their 'hairband that is glistening' and talking about the 'shimmering leaves'.


In Maths, we have been looking at 2d shapes and the children have been playing patience with the cards and matching 2d shapes, as well as discussing the properties of simple shapes such as squares, rectangles, circles and triangles. 


In our visit to the forest, we have been looking at the wonderful colours around us - especially when we look at the leaves on the trees. We explored around the forest and found as many different colours as we could and displayed them all on coloured paper amongst the trees. It was a lovely afternoon.  

Our PSED focus was looking at how we are all special and unique. The children took part in a lovely activity, where they all looked at themselves in a mirror and discussed what they saw. We then talked about how/ why we are all different. During activity time, some children chose to take part in some colour mixing, where they experimented with adding light and dark to colours to try and make a replica of their hair colour. They were wonderful artists!
