This week has been just right!
We have loved learning all about Goldilocks and The Three Bears, the children have blown us away with their contributions during class discussion. We have read lots of different versions of the traditional tale and have enjoyed spotting all the similarities and differences.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed the role-play cottage in the reception setting, taking on the roles of Daddy Bear, Mummy Bear and Baby Bear and acting out the story. We have spent lots of time talking about the choices Goldilocks made and whether these were the right/wrong choices and how we could help her make better ones. This lead us nicely onto talking about ‘New Year’s Resolutions’ and what we could promise to try and do as we enter a brand-new year. There were some lovely, thoughtful ideas and we are very proud of the children for how well they took part in this activity.
Next week we are looking forward to going shopping and creating a shopping list for porridge ingredients and tasting it with different toppings.
During maths this week we have been exploring 2D shapes and talking about what makes them special. The children have learnt about the corners and sides that circle, squares, triangles and rectangles have and they now know that some have straight sides and some have sides that curve. We would love to hear about the 2D shapes you can find at home or when you’re out and about over the weekend on a good news slip.
I’m sure the children have been singing lots of songs from our performance at home and showing you all of the dances that we have been practising. Not long now until we get to show you in person, please check school spider for further details.
Next week we will be talking about Lunar New Year, which will be celebrated on Sunday 22nd January 2023. We look forward to exploring this topic further within our play when we discover the ways in which we can celebrate.
Have a great weekend everyone,
The Reception Team
