In Reception we have been continuing having fun exploring and investigating minibeasts. We went into the forest to see what different species we could find, observing them closely which led to lots of discussion about similarities and differences- ‘I know this is a slug because it doesn’t have a shell’.
In Maths we have been learning to
count beyond 10. We learnt to put the objects in rows or to move them so we don't get muddled up. We especially enjoyed counting at the playdough table where we had to choose a teen number and make that many playdough balls for our Ladybug spots. If the objects cannot be moved we can cross them off as
we count. We had to make sure we didn’t count too fast or miss out any numbers!
As part of our creative development we have been making some fantastic playdough minibeasts and collages. In Literacy we read the story ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson which is one of the teachers favourites. We also used describing words to write sentences about different minibeasts. In Understanding of the World we learnt about the Life cycle of a butterfly and the teachers were very impressed with the children's enthusiasm and knowledge in this area.
