Our learning in forces has continued as we focused on air resistance. The children completed an investigation where they were challenged to see if they could find the most streamlined shape. They used their scientific skills to time the falls precisely and we took an average to increase reliability.
As part of our DT and Computing we have made pumpkin soup. We had to follow the instructions carefully, chopping the pumpkin and onion before putting it in the oven to roast. We can’t wait to try it 🎃

This week we have been working out what is one more or one less than a number. We began by using real objects, progressed onto counting fixed objects and some of us even worked out the answers using just the numerals. We love our maths learning in Reception!
This half-term within our P.E. lessons with Dan, we have been focusing on invasion games. This has seen us develop our positioning skills over a range of games and also develop of communication skills within a team.
Children have been creating code for a microbit, which is a circuit board that can do a multitude of things, such as count steps, play music, listen to sound and light up.
