Curls

We were painting today. The paper curled and I took the opportunity to show how we could flatten it again.
Someone asked what 'curl' meant.
I explained, giving several examples, one of which was:
João has curly hair.
Dhruv asks, "Did you go to the hairdresser to make the curls forever?"

I want to be...

Suhani was helping another child with some maths and I asked if she wanted to be a teacher. She answers, "No, I want to be a hairdresser."

João makes the comment: "I want to be a teacher."
I asked João why he wanted to be a teacher and his answer was:
"I like to learn." (that is the best answer and I do agree, we learn all the time)
Zé Pedro, "I want to work at McDonald's
Grace said, "I want to be a doctor."
Maria said, "I want to be a teacher too."

Lourenço without being asked said, "I want to be a boy."

A challenge

Maria saw a sample for a possible craft activity
"I don't know what it is, but I want to make one."

Gruffalo - our class assembly

We all stand together!

We all stand together are the last words to the song, Frog's chorus. The words represent how Reception Bears have bonded together and have made such a fantastic team.

Here you can see Paul McCartney's song at the end of our dress rehearsal.

Halves and Doubles

Half the class is 5 while half the class is already 6.
With today's birthday, 6 children are 6 years of age.
I asked the birthday girl how she knew she was six.
She answered, she knew because before she was 5
and now she was one year older.

Recently we have been learning about halves and doubles.
These were some of the number facts we revised:
3 is half of 6
6 is half of 12
6 is double 3
12 is double 6
It was nice to see the children identify an application 
for what they have learnt.
