RECEPTION
Welcome back, we hope you enjoyed your time away from school with your families.
Our new topic is all about dinosaurs. The children will be learning about the environment in which the dinosaurs lived in and the impact they had when they roamed the planet. They will be learning the different names and how to sort them by not only what they ate but by their size and features. In Maths, the children will be continuing with addition but will be finding the total of two groups of objects by counting on from the first group.
