We have loved the new story small world this half term and have created all kinds of elaborate creations with the fairies, superheroes, magical creatures and cars who dwell there… what will we build next?

People Who Help Us – The Police
As part of our work on people who help us we loved having our local PCSOs in to visit. We got to explore all parts of the police van and they even played the siren for us. We discussed lots of types of Police transport and we felt like real police officers in our uniforms
Football sessions with Bradford Park Avenue!
We loved our first taster of football this week with Jordan from Bradford Park Avenue. He’s going to come in and work with us on our Thursday PE too!
String painting
We loved experimenting with string painting this afternoon using our colour palette of yellow, red and orange. It was so messy and we loved getting our hands all paint-covered. We carefully laid the strings on our paper and then used another piece of paper to print the relief!
Introducing 0!
After all our work last half term with 1-5 it was time to introduce 0! We started by sorting different representations into 0 and not 0 and over the week have been talking more about composition of 0 and 5!
Making friends and helping others
When we join school in Reception the first thing we need to establish is our prime areas which includes our social skills and making friends. As you can see… RTH are so good at this! We’re such a friendly bunch. We all love playing together and we’re very flexible about the areas! We are really good at resolving conflicts and most of the time we really do get on so well!
We love spending time with our story heroes on a Friday!
Pattern creating in Maths today
We’ve been exploring all things patterned this week in Reception Maths. From Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkins to some striped snakes and patterns with all sorts of objects in our input!
Weighing, comparing and measuring
It’s been a busy week of Maths in Reception this week. We’ve really enjoyed applying our Maths input to all sorts of practical activities both indoors and outdoors. We’ve been measuring longer and shorter, taller and shorter, heavier and lighter and all manner of capacity measurements!
Storytelling Fridays!
Today was our first day with our story teller heroes in Year 6. After our whole class story creation they came to work with us in little groups and invent our own stories!
