This week has been full of exciting discoveries and learning opportunities! The children explored the local area and important people in their lives, thrilled to see photos of familiar roads and routes to school. They created their own “Reception Road,” drawing pictures of their homes and families, which fostered a sense of connection to their community.
In Maths, the children engaged in sorting, matching, and comparing activities. They discovered a collection of socks in the classroom and were tasked with pairing them up before sorting them by attributes such as colour, size, and pattern.
We also had a fantastic time during our car wash activity! The children used spray bottles and cloths to clean the cars, strengthening their fine motor skills while having fun.
Adding a touch of magic to our week, a mysterious pot and star-covered hat appeared in our classroom, along with a story map of “The Magic Porridge Pot”. After reading the story, the children said the magic words, and to their delight, the pot revealed delicious porridge! Each child had a taste, and we’re excited to focus on this enchanting tale in the coming weeks.
What a wonderful week of learning and fun! Stay tuned for more adventures in our classroom!
