A fantastic first week back! 😊
Firstly, well done to everyone who completed some form of Easter holiday diary – we have really enjoyed looking at them!
This week was another RE focus week in Reception, answering the enquiry question Which religious stories are special and why? We recapped the many Bible stories that the children already know (7 - impressive! Now 11!) and discussed the Old and New Testament, linking them to the birth of Jesus.
The children have listened to, sequenced and written about new stories – Jonah and the Whale and Jesus heals the Blind Man. They made excellent links to our RESPECT Code during all this learning.
We also focused on a special story from another faith – Rama and Sita, Hinduism – to expand the children’s knowledge and understanding of other faiths and beliefs. The children loved this story and blew our socks off with their dramatic performances of the story – wow!
In Maths, it’s been all about the number 10! Try asking your child if they can show or tell you all the numbers bonds e.g. 10 + 0, 9 +1, 8 + 2 etc.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
The Reception Team 😊
