Reception Porridge Party!!, by Mrs Williams

Date: 21st Jan 2025 @ 4:56pm

This week the Reception Children in Oak and Chestnut had a Porridge Party! We read the story Who has been eating my porridge? Goldilocks has a porridge party and invites all of the different traditional tales characters to the party.

We had lots of fun stirring the porridge, cooking and eating it, as well as playing party dances and games.

In Maths this week we focused on Zero the Hero!! We identified zero amounts, counted backwards to zero and wrote zero! We went on a zero hunt around school too!!

Next week our story is based on a tea party gone wrong!! A strippy orange and black animal comes to the tea party and eats all of the food! Can you guess which book it is?

Who has been eating my porridge???

This week we loved reading Goldilocks and the three bears and learning the song 'When Goldicloks went to the house of the Bears'.

We loved reading the Numberlys in Maths this week and have been focusing on numbers to 5. We have practised reading them, writing them and subitising them. We are getting super at subitising!

We loved learning about special stories in RE too.

Next week we will be looking at other traditional tale characters in 'Who has been eating my porridge?' and focusing on numbers to 5 in Maths to deepen our understanding.

What a fantastic week back in class!

This week we have reach the story The River and learnt all about how our feelings can be like a river- wild, free, calm still... We learned that we always change an grow and our feelings will too.

For Maths this week we have been learning about ABABAB patterns. We are fantastic at copying and making them!! 

In Science we have been learning about animals and their habitats. We matched the animals to their habitats and found out how animals dapt to where they live. We really liked the polar bears who live in the Tundra. Mrs Williams showed the children a photograph of her in the Tundra too. We also learned about how some things are living or non-living and sorted some things from inside our classroom. Did you know plants are living because they breathe, need water, nutrients and can reproduce by spreading seeds??

Next week we will be learning about a little girl who sneaked in to someone's house and ate all of the porridge- Can you guess our story? It is also Maths story week. We will be learning about the Numberlys.
