Class of 2031 (Rec)

We may have only just returned to school after the half term break but the children are already excited for Easter!  They have created an Easter house using the magnetic tiles.  Lots of lovely language and cooperative play.

Our classes found a suitcase with lots of items inside all related to our new book!!  The children were really excited to explore what had been left for them and to see their new book.  The Journey Home by Emma Levey

Practising our subitising skills in class this week. We are rolling a dice, recognising the number then circling the corresponding dots on a piece of paper.  The children are loving this already.
