Summer 1 

The summer term has brought warm weather and plenty of sunshine for our reception pupils.  We've loved taking our learning outside!  Check out some of the things we've been up to.

Getting ready to grow!

We began this half-term by exploring plants and observing how they grow.  We enjoyed reading our class novel, Bud and planting some of of our own flowers and plants.  As a class we planted, beans, sweet peas and cress from seed.  We also planted our own individual sunflowers and have enjoyed watching the roots, stem and leaves begin to form.

Pupils in Reception have taken great joy and care looking after their outdoor area.  They have show great responsibility by taking care of the plants and mini-beasts that share our outdoor space.

Maths

In Maths, we have been counting and exploring numbers up to 20.  We've been busy learning how to 'add' and 'take-away' using a range of different resources.

Science

As well as learning about how plants grow, we have been learning about our own bodies and how they are growing too!  We have been learning the names of different body parts and the jobs they do.  We loved drawing and labelling bodies in our outdoor area and writing our own fabulous fact files!
