Hello
Well, what a busy week we had last week. All the Reception children went to their first assembly at Bardsey School and not only did they sit beautifully and listen, but they also performed their song. We are so proud of them all. It was a big occasion and they all stepped up to the mark! well done.
We also did lots of tasting last week. We all helped to make dips and prepare the dippers and then we used our senses to describe and finally taste the dips. We also tried sour lemons and bitter chocolate. I was surprised to see some children actually enjoying the lemons and going back for more! This week we are going to try some Asian food to link in with our non-uniform day which is in aid of the flood victims in Pakistan.
Reception have also started work on calculations. We have introduced adding and take away. We have been counting how many children choose each lunch choice and then we combine groups to make totals. We have also been taking away one of our groups and counting how many are left. Remember, if you do any counting or calculations at home, keep it fun and use objects e.g. counting how many forks and knives are on the table, how many steps to school from the gate/car.
The children had great fun reading Oliver's Vegetables, they used Mrs Collins veg box to make an allotment in the sand pit and painted some great pictures of all the different vegetables.
So, watch this space to how we get on with our Asian feast!
