In Mathematics this week the children have been learning to sort objects. They worked really hard at selecting their own way to sort, e.g. by colour or size.
Week 2: Exploring Colour and Texture.
In Chicks 1 this week we have been learning to explore paints using our hands. We named the primary colours and then mixed paints together with our hands to make a new colour.
Week 1: Welcome to Reception!
The children have had a great first week in Chicks 1. The children have begun to learn the school expectations of 'We are Kind, 'We are Honest' and 'We Work Hard.'
We have been working really hard at remembering how to ‘ choose it, use it and put it away’.
