🌟 What a busy and exciting week in Reception! 🌟
We’ve had lots of fun learning through stories, play and hands-on experiences. 📚✨

This week we enjoyed reading The Selfish Crocodile, using the story to inspire our conversations, imagination and creative ideas especially during Drawing Club sessions. 🐊📖 We’ve also been encouraging mark making in lots of different ways, giving the children opportunities to develop their early writing skills through play.

The children have been particularly enjoying story massage too, combining storytelling with gentle movements and actions as part of our Zones of Regulation and finding ways to be in the Green Zone!💆‍♀️📚

Outdoors, our imaginations really came to life! 🌸🌿 We made colourful flower potions, became engineers to build houses and of course had to have a sing song/dance on the stage. The children also loved taking on different roles in our imaginative shop, becoming shopkeepers and customers while developing their communication, language and social skills. 🛒💷

Well done, Reception, on another fantastic week! 🌈👏 #dcpsEYFS #dcpsladybird #dcpsbutterfly #dcpscore #dcpsPSHE

🔢✨ Developing Number Sense in Reception! ✨🔢
Our Reception children have been busy developing their number sense through fun, hands-on learning experiences! 🧮🌟

We have been exploring numbers, quantities and patterns, helping the children to recognise amounts, count carefully and understand that numbers represent how many. 👏

Through practical activities, games and lots of mathematical talk, our children are becoming confident mathematicians and learning to spot numbers and quantities in different ways.
