Reception Round Up
Our in-class igloo has provided great opportunity for imaginative role play. We have looked at videos of arctic animals and started to talk about how they survive in the extreme cold. We’re working on a class display of penguins chilling in the Arctic and watched how baby penguins are looked after by their parents.
In Maths we have been identifying missing numbers in sequences to 10 and have revisited number bonds to 5.
