Week 1 

This week has been super exciting in Reception! We have started our topic 'Over On The Farm'. We started the week by visiting the farm. We had so much fun, we went on a tractor ride and fed the donkey magic bread, we watched the cows get milked, we rode on a donkey and we held lots of baby animals. 

In Talk For Writing, we are learning how to write a recount of our farm trip, applying all our phonics and writing knowledge. 

In Maths we are learning to count from 0-20 and sequence the numbers.

Week 2

We have been busy in Reception this week in our indoor and outdoor areas. 

In our outdoor area we have been practising our subitising skills and our gross motor skills by throwing the hoop at a target and seeing who gets the highest/lowest number. In our sand area we have been making roads for all the big trucks to travel on- it has been so exciting. 

In Maths we have continued our learning on numbers 1-20. The children are getting much better at counting up to 20 and sequencing the teen numbers. We have also been learning how we can make 20 using Numicon, it has been tricky but we finally understand the 1 in teen numbers is a 10. 

In English/Talk for Writing we have been practising our recount to the farm, we have started to create our text map and matched some actions to each word.
