Our Week - W/C 9th May 2022

This week in maths the children have been busy looking at odd and even numbers. We have discussed what makes numbers odd and even and we have also practiced sharing items with a peer to check the result. The children used numicon during their activity and the children noticed that the numicon pieces with a flat edge were even and the ones with pointy edge were odd . Fantastic problem solving class one. Some children amazed Mrs Dykes and I by writing in odd and even numbers past 10. Amazing maths Class 1.

In Literacy this week we have started our dinosaur topic book called 'Gigantosaurus', the children on Monday made dinosaur eggs to hook us into the story. The children have been looking after their dinosaur eggs and this week in provision, some children have been writing sentences about their dinosaur eggs. This week we are continuing to get to know the story and the children have been developing their vocabulary, learning about the characters and setting. On Monday we went on a hunt around the forest area for words that the dinosaurs mummy had left them. The children were really excited, and we were so proud that the children were reading most tricky words by sight.

What fantastic maths and literacy this week Reception.
