Reception Shooting Stars Hardwick Green

October is Black History Month. We learned about the famous black musician Stevie Wonder and played percussion instruments in time to “Isn’t She Lovely” #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS

We have been learning about comparing mass. We became human balance scales and used the words “heavier” and “lighter”. Then we used the balance scales to weigh objects #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickMaths

The children have been really interested in using the multilink cubes to measure things #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickMaths

In maths this week we are learning how to count objects accurately by following the counting principles #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickMaths

We had a wonderful time at our End of Reception celebration this afternoon. It really is a milestone occasion that these children have completed their Early Years Foundation Stage journey. They are so ready for Year 1! #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS

We have been learning about the human and physical features of the seaside #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickGeography

We’ve been reading The Snail and the Whale. We thought about where we would want to go on an adventure #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickEnglish

Reception have been practising using the rekenreks with the correct starting position and using our subitising skills and ‘one push’ to move the beads across @NCETM #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickMaths

What can you see inside Billy’s Bucket? We used our imagination to say what we could see inside the bucket and use adjectives to describe it #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickEnglish

In maths we have been subtracting! “First I had 5, then I took 3 away. Now I have 2” #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickMaths @WhiteRoseEd

It was World Bee Day the other day and as a class we learned about the importance of bees and what we can do to help them. We scattered butterfly and bee seed mix outside #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS

We turned ‘first, then and now’ addition problems into number sentences and used the tens frames to solve them @WhiteRoseEd #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickMaths

Today we made healthy vegetable soup, although there were some mixed reviews on how tasty it was! #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS

We have been learning about what seeds need to grow and planted our own sunflower seed. We will make sure to give them lots of water and sunlight #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickSTEM

Reception had a great time celebrating the coronation of King Charles III today #hardwickgreenpa #hardwickeyfs

We have new class pets in Reception - stick insects! A couple of them have hatched from their eggs. We’re looking forward to them growing bigger #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS

We have been learning where food comes from and today we planted potatoes and carrot seeds. We learned about what plants need to grow #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickSTEM

We listened to a funny story on the library bus this afternoon #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickEnglish

Our @CommandoJoes PE mission was all about resilience. We had to manoeuvre theobstacle course and then throw the ball in the bucket. If we missed we showed great resilience by not giving up and we kept trying until we succeeded! #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickEYFS #HardwickPersonal

These Y3 boys take the name “puddle suits” to a whole new level! #HardwickGreenPA #HardwickPersonal
