  In English this week, we have been reading The Little Red Hen. In the story, The Little Red Hen bakes bread. The Reception children have had the opportunity to bake bread in their key worker groups. The children discussed what ingredients they would need and listened to instructions to follow the recipe. 

 Spring 2 Week 4 Book of the week.... Little Red Hen From the story the children will be making their own little loaf of bread.  Maths: This week the children will continue to learn about Number 9. They will be exploring all the different ways they can make 9 and creating their own addition sums.   Phonics: This week the children will be learning the sounds: ure, er and the alternative ow sound.

  Gardening club Week 1 The children enjoyed planting their own cucumber seeds in small plant pots. They have kept them by the window to make sure they get sun light. The children water their seeds each day.  Week 2 This week the children helped prepare the soil reading for planting some herbs and vegetables. They used watering cans, rakes and shovels to water and turn over the soil. 

  Reception have had the opportunity to plant trees on our school grounds today. The children spoke about what trees need to grow and discussed where would be best to plant them.  🌲🌳🌲🌳

 Reception have had a very exciting day today.  Not only was it World Book Day, Reception also got to make pancakes with the ingredients which we bought at the Coop earlier in the week. The children worked together in their Key Worker groups to make the pancakes and then had the opportunity to decorate them with a range of different toppings.  Yummy!

  Co-op visit! Today Reception walked down, in small groups to the local Co-op.  During our walk, we spoke to the children about road safety to ensure everyone crossed the road correctly.  On our walk the children spotted out number of the week.... Number 8! Once at the Co-op, each group bought two items each so we can make pancakes tomorrow.  The children bought flour, eggs, milk, grapes, bananas chocolate sprinkles, lemon juice and maple syrup.  The children even helped pay for the items by using the card machine at the checkout.
