This week in Reception, the children had an fabulous time innovating our class focus story. The story transformed The Magic Porridge Pot into The Magic Popcorn Pot! With great excitement, the children watched as popcorn magically appeared when we all said the magic words “cook, pot, cook”. While enjoying our popcorn treat, the children got creative and came up with their own imaginative story innovations. This activity supported their learning by encouraging them to think critically and expand their vocabulary. It also helped develop their storytelling skills, fostering creativity and confidence in sharing ideas with the class.
In mathematics, we focused on measuring, comparing, and ordering objects by size. The children practiced using vocabulary such as “smallest,” “largest,” and “medium” while exploring these concepts. These activities are crucial for building their understanding of mathematical language and logical thinking, which lay the foundation for future problem-solving skills. Working with physical objects also enhanced their understanding of spatial relationships and comparison, making abstract concepts more concrete and engaging.
It’s been another fun and productive week of learning, filled with opportunities to grow in both creativity and critical thinking!
Have a wonderful weekend.
