Reception

WELCOME TO RECEPTION!

Click here to see what we have been up to in Spring 2!

Our World

Our topic this term is 'Our World’ We will be thinking about how plants and animals grow and change, their life cycles and what helps them to thrive.  Later in the term, we will be thinking about animals from around the world.  Following our trip to Peak Wildlife we will be thinking about their habitats and how they are the same or different to the chicks we studied earlier in the term.

What are we doing this half term?

This half term we will be looking at the non-fiction book all about how to 'Grow your own Bean Plant. We will be focusing on the features of a set of instructions.  We will then write our own set of instructions and keep a diary about our very own bean plant.  We will be practising writing more than one sentence that can be read by ourselves and others.  We will also be reading the fairy tale ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ concentrating on retelling and changing the story to add a twist to share with our Year 2 friends.

In maths, we will be moving on to addition and subtraction.  We explore these concepts through using several models and images including a 10’s frame, Numicon and the part-part-whole model.  We then learn about doubles and halves.  Finally, we investigate the properties of 2D and 3D shapes.
