Look at Us Learning
Reception 2024-2025
Above you will find our special Maths page!
You can see the rest of our wonderful learning each half term below:
Autumn A
We are settling into Reception life, making new friends and learning the ropes. We have been exploring our new environment inside and out! Our theme this half term is 'Super Duper You' so we have explored who we are, our family and our homes. We enjoyed our first forest school session making ourselves from clay and building shelters to represent our homes. We ended the half term planting some 'magic seeds' which grew into our very own pumpkin picking patch!
Autumn B
'Fantastic Festivals' is our theme this half term and we have so much to celebrate. We are focusing on light as a celebration starting with bonfire night and fireworks. Diwali is the festival of light and we enjoyed traditional Diwali celebrations. We took part in a remembrance day assembly including some special visitors. Loy Krathong is a celebration using lanterns and candles and of course who can forget Christmas! We have embraced the colder weather and seasonal changes using our outdoor space to explore and test our gross motor skills. We enjoyed maths week, anti bullying week and road safety week! Phew......what a packed half term.
Spring A
This half term we enter our 'Happily Ever After' focus and explore traditional tales with moral themes. A crime scene started our half term and we linked the evidence to Little Red Riding Hood, exploring the characters and their actions. We got to work investigating the events of the story in our own police station. In Forest school we learnt about wolves in the wild and the difference between real wolves and story book wolves who seem to get a bad name. We celebrated Lunar New Year with a special Chinese dancing workshop and the traditional Chinese tale of The Magic Paintbrush, which taught us to be humble and kind. Number day saw us take part in a maths week full of revisiting of maths learning. We ended on a bouncy note with our valentines bouncy castle disco!
Spring B
Spring B is all about 'How does your garden grow' as we take the opportunity to observe the natural world around us. We have been busy outdoors developing our gross motor skills, observing changes in weather as the seasons progress and focusing on growing and adapting in nature. We have grown our own cress and carrot tops, learnt about life cycles and enjoyed a trip to the National Forest Adventure Farm to feed lambs and understand the importance of animals in our world. We have been busy exploring the creatures who live in our gardens with a focus on creepy, crawly mini beasts.
