This week (3rd Feb)

Reception class have been busy bees this week. We started to think about vets and how they are a bit like doctors but they look after animals. This led us on to thinking about animals and what we knew about them. The children started to consider if they could match baby animals to their adult counterparts, which was fascinating, though some of the children found frogs/tadpoles a little confusing! We also looked at the similarities and differences between animals, deciding which animals were the best for certain jobs. We decided that a dog would make a good pet as it is cuddly and soft, but a shark would not be a good pet as it might eat you!

Another key area this week has been addition. We began to look at the language of addition and how we can record that by writing a number sentence. It is only early days but the children are showing a lot of promise
