This week we have been talking about essential items we need to take for our journey around the world, such as maps, passport, clothes and water. We explored maps, wrote a checklist for our travel and created our own passports which we used in our Travel Agency.

Our first stop, was France.

Bonjour, je m'appelle Mme S.

We continue to learn about our local environment, London and the world.

During our Computing lesson on Thursday, children used Google Earth programme to navigate their way to their own homes and back to school. It is amazing how easy children found their way home!

Welcome back!

This half term Reception will be learning about the world around them starting with their local environment, such as our school and Dagenham area. We will be expanding out knowledge on a global scale by learning about different counties around the world.

This week we learnt about 3D shapes and we used them to build our own 3D plan of Leys Primary school.

The holidays are here!!!

We decorated our tree and our class; we wrote many cards to our friends; we wrapped many 'gifts' and we practised very hard doing our Nativity play. We are very excited to show you our play!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2023!

The joy of Christmas.

We have been really busy this week!

During our Maths lessons we explored a human scale and were able to identify 'heavy' and 'light'. Some children enjoyed learning about the weight by playing with balancing scales, while others used a child friendly programme to solve the problem using scales.

During our Computing lesson children have learnt how to use a digital camera.

Everyone had a go at taking photographs and, as children got more familiar with the device, the pictures became more

interesting and less blurry. Can you guess which ones were the first tries and which ones are taken later in the day?

This week we are learning how to use our fingers to help us to find out the number that is 'one less than' the given number. We've made our 'number fingers' to support our understanding and took a ride on a safari jeep to find out 'one less' number while singing 'We re going on a safari' song.

This week we have been learning about the technology and digital devices as a part of our Computing curriculum. We went on a learning walk around the school and found a range of devices, from lights and clocks, to computers and microwaves.

This is what we found:
