What a busy week in year R especially with all the rain and flooding preventing us getting out much at the beginning of the week.

This week we read ‘The Nativity’ by Nick Butterworth so the children could understand the performance we are going to be doing in a few weeks time! This coincided with starting to rehearse the nativity in the classroom and in the hall.

In Maths this week we looked at the number 6 and counting to this amount 1:1 accurately and then looking at the different ways to make this amount on 2 groups. The children have loved been shown the part- whole model and using this to show the different ways 6 can be made e.g. 5 and 1 but also 3 and 3 etc.

In PE this week we started to look at ball skills and throwing and catching bean nags which we have then been continuing in discovery.
