Drawing Club
This week, we have focused on the story Five Minutes’ Peace by Jill Murphy.
"Five Minutes' Peace" is a popular children's book by Jill Murphy about Mrs. Large, an elephant who tries to find a moment of quiet away from her boisterous children. The story hilariously captures the relatable chaos of family life, as her peaceful break is consistently interrupted until she can no longer find any peace at all.
Please bring a picture of you and your family to share with the rest of the class, thank you

Maths
Focus: Counting, ordinality and cardinality
This week, the children have continued to engage with activities that underline the purpose of counting – to find out ‘how many’ objects there are altogether. They reinforced their understanding of cardinality – that the last number in the count tells us ‘how many’ things there are altogether in a set of objects – and they will further practise their 1:1 correspondence skill, by counting numbers at the same time as moving or tagging objects
Handwriting
In Reception (ages 4-5) in the UK, handwriting focuses on foundational skills like correct pencil grip, posture, and forming recognisable, non-cursive letters, with an emphasis on physical activities to develop fine motor skills.
