In Reception the children have been reading the story ‘Look Up’ and learning about all the interesting objects we might see if we look up into the sky. We have thought about what we might like to be when we are older and also what we might take on a special mission to see the meteor shower. The children have also innovated their own stories as a class, exploring new and exciting ideas that they could look up and see including a golden eagle and a jet plane.
We were also very lucky to have some special night time visitors. Claire from Birds and Beyond Falconry came in and talked to us about her fabulous owls. We even got to see the Barn Owl silently fly across the hall!
In maths we have been looking at numbers 1-5 and how these are made up. The children have been practising their subitising skills and talking about what different groups make up a number.
We are all very proud of the progress the children have made in their phonics learning. We have many children independently reading and starting out on their reading journey.
As we headed into the Christmas celebrations the children have been practising their singing and enjoyed showcasing this to their adults.
