As part of ‘No pens day’ in reception, we explored the school yard to find triangles and circles as part of our maths lesson. We used our phonics knowledge to build words using the letter cards in phonics. In drawing club, we used our oracy skills to describe our own bus stop, as part of the story ‘We catch the bus’. We joined our year 6 buddies in the hall for guided reading and then finished the day with our grown up creating puppets and machines as part of our topic.
