We began the week by finding out about animals that live where it's really cold and snowy for most of the year. We found photographs and had a go at painting pictures of different animals.
This is a picture lemming, which many of the children are mistakenly calling a lemon!
You have to look very carefully to see this beatuiful Arctic Fox.
We learned that some animals can live in either the South or the North Pole but that some live in either the Arctic OR the Antarctic and that in nature Polar Bears and Penguins NEVER MEET!
We looked at an atlas and used the internet to help us do this Arctic and Antarctic animals sorting activity.
We talked about the kinds of things explorers might need to take on an exhibition and wrote out lists for the trip. As you can see everyone is at a different stage of writing in Reception, but we are all making really good progress from our individual starting points.
Very cold weather has kept us inside for a couple of days this week, so we've used the time to gather our kit lists and head to the gym for some Polar Expedition role play. We took it in turns to be huskys, explorers, polar bears and lemmings; we pitched a tent in the snow and fished in ice holes.
We also played some grat parachute games, click below to see Mr. Andre's film of us playing popcorn!
AND we built a police station for small world role play!
In maths we have been making sure we can match quatity to numerals. We are fantastic at using the number fans and really enjoy playing Miss Lucie's number dance dice game!
In phonics we have learned the sounds f/h/b as well as the high frequency words go and no.
