Owls, emotions, space and size

|
This week we have been talking about our emotions and feelings. We have been talking about a range of emotions and spoke about how the little owl in our story ‘A Bit Lost’ felt when he fell out of the tree.
Can you make the right sized home for our owl? Will there be enough space?
Can you make an owl using the playdough?
In phonics we have learning the sounds ‘i’ ‘n’ ‘m’ and ‘d’. We have started to blend these sounds into words, but are the words real or are they fake? Can you spot the fake words in the sand?
In maths we continue to sort objects into sets and compare amounts saying when the sets have more , less or are equal. Can you sort the autumn objects? Which set has more and which has less or are they equal?

Welcome to RF

|

Welcome to RF. The children have settled in well and are enjoying exploring all of the provision that is available in Reception. This week has been particularly exciting as we have had some alien visitors from out of space. The children have been painting pictures of the aliens, sending them letters so they are less lonely and telling them about their favorite animals.
