Monet

This week we have been learning about the artist Monet. The children remembered that he lived in France a long time ago and he was a famous artist.
We looked at some of Monet's paintings and we focused on the painting of waterlilies. All the children have painted their own interpretation of Monet's 'Waterlilies' onto canvas using acrylic paint. We will be displaying these on open evening on the 9th July.
In Maths we have been learning about time. We learned to sequence our day and talk about what time we do things in the day. We looked at clocks and learned about the hands on the clock, learning language such as minutes, hours and o'clock. We talked about what we could do in one minute and the children explored this. Perhaps you could find out at home the different things that you can do in one minute.
We have been practising our May dance this week. The children are doing really well skipping with their partner to the music and following the instructions. We are hoping for a sunny day on Friday the 25th of May for our May Day celebrations.
We have had a lovely week this week having the parents in to work shadow. Thank you to the parents who came in to shadow their child. We hope you have learned more about what learning in the Reception Class looks like.
Our Home learning this week is to find out about trains and record what you have discovered. Perhaps you could draw a picture and label it or write some facts into sentences.
