Reception have been learning the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’ and have enjoyed a wonderful visit from the mobile farm this morning. We loved spending time with the goats, sheep, chickens and rabbit. We even got to feed the goats! Ask us all about it! 🐏🐐🐓🐇 @BarntonMissR

We LOVE our new class text, The Knight Who Wouldn’t Fight. Ask us what it takes to be the best knight in the land. 🏰🧌🐉🛡️📚📖 @BarntonMissR @WeaverTrustMrsL

This week, Reception have been building on their knowledge of doubles by exploring doubles within 10. We used Numicon and other resources to represent our understanding. Ask us to tell you about doubles within 10. #BNCPSMaths @BarntonMissR @WeaverTrustMrsL

This week, Reception have been learning about jobs from the past. We discussed a variety of jobs from the past and compared them to the jobs people do today. Are they the same or are they different? We even had a visit from Barnton’s resident chimney sweep! @BarntonMissR

This morning, an interesting basket arrived in our classroom. Inside was a red cape, striped t-shirt and an ice-cream cone. Who do the items belong to? Could they be clues to our new class text? Reception are on a mission to find the answers! 🧐🕵🏼🦸🏻‍♀️ @BarntonMissR @BarntonMrsL

Reception have been learning about Chinese New Year and Luna New Year. We discussed how people celebrate and the traditions of the festival. We even enjoyed a tasty stir-fry for our afternoon snack! 🍜🐉🐲 @BarntonMissR @BarntonMrsL

Something egg-citing happened in Reception today! We discovered a mysterious nest with a very special egg. We’ve been investigating and predicting what we think could hatch out of the egg. 🪺 💭 @BarntonMissR @BarntonMrsL

This week, we have been sorting representations of numbers to five into groups, zero and not zero. We have also been working on our subitising by looking at the picture and saying the number it represents. Well done, Reception! 🤩 @BarntonMissR @BarntonMrsL

This looks brilliant- I can’t wait to see your finished products! Maybe I’ll bring the Three Little Pigs to test them out! 🐷🐷🐷 🏠

During our dance lessons, we’ve been learning how to develop our agility and move in different ways. We’ve been inspired by our class text, The Lion Inside, and have created our own group dances based on African animals. 🌍🦁🦏🐍🦒🦛🐒🐘 @barntonMrJ @BarntonMissR

There’s nothing better than playing with friends in the sunshine! 😊☀️@BarntonMissR
