This week in Reception class we are continuing our exploration of space. In particular, we are focusing on the Moon.
In the Classroom:
For our independent writing task this week, children were asked to use their phonemes to describe then draw the moon.
Children used black card, white crayons and small star stickers to try and recreate some of the star constellations they can see in the sky at night. Children used grey playhoh to recreate the different phases of the moon.
We used flour, paint and the top of a drinks bottle to create our own textured moons.
Outdoor Learning:
We are learning all about numbers 6, 7, 8 in Maths this week. In addition to this, we are learning about doubling and odd and even numbers.
Children were asked to throw beanbags into a bucket, then count how many they got in the bucket and ho0w many missed. The children were then challenged to say whether the numbers were odd or even.
We used the large outdoors dominos and tried to find a domino where the dots on both sides of the domino added up to 6, 7, or 8.
Gallery:
We took some pictures of our mornings activities, which can be seen in the gallery below. Please click on the thumbnails for a larger view.
