This week we found out our new topic is ‘Shopping’ and we are excited to open our own shop. We have been using our developing communication skills to explain what we already know about shopping and negotiate what sort of shop we would like to open here in Reception. We started phase two in phonics and some of us are starting to use our sounds to make signs for the shop whilst others have focused on drawing designs and mark making as well as making models and explain our choices for our shop.

We have had a problem with cheeky fairies meddling with our number lines this week. Luckily we have been working on recognising numbers and were able to work to fix the problems. We spotted the mistakes and went shopping for the right number of items to buy the numbers back from the fairies. Something tells me those fairies might be back, but actually it was a lot of fun so we don’t mind!

Elsewhere in reception we have been trying to check on the fish in the pond. We tried making a fishing rod but no biters just yet… Check back for updates next week!
