We have had another super learning week in our classroom.

Well done to our 2 Silver Badge Award Winners! Reading AT LEAST 100 times since their September start! Magnificent!!

In literacy the children have felt cross that the girls took the Bog Baby out of his natural habitat. Hatchmere have role-played what they might say to the girls if they were the Bog Baby. They wrote their thoughts down using the sounds that they know. We have had some fabulous responses; 'I want to go back to my home', 'put me back in my habitat', 'you are making me sick'. Wonderful work Hatchmere.

The Hatchmere Sweet Shop is open and ready for business! It has done a rip-roaring trade in its first week. We carefully write down our orders and then give it to the shopkeeper. Whilst ‘playing’ the children are developing their communication and language skills, mathematical application and responsibility for their resources by ensuring the area is tidied away, as modelled, ready to use again.

Drawing Club has seen the children invited to create their own ‘Would you Rather…’ question. We have even used a question mark in our writing. The children used their sentence checkers independently to ensure their writing follows our ‘writing rules’. Some children even edited their work after re-reading their sentence! Amazing

This week in maths Hatchmere have continued to embed the skill of '5 and a bit'. They have completed a Part Part Whole model of the numbers 7 and 8. We have played Subitising Bingo with numbers up to 10 and shown off our number line skills using numicon. We have also ordered flowers from shortest to tallest. We have fabulous Mathematicians in our Reception classroom.

Did you hear about our special dance class? As you know our children are excellent dancers and love to learn new routines. A dance teacher came in and was blown away by their ability to pick up new steps. We had the best time. Hopefully we will see him again in the future. The link to the song is here:Better Place
