Nettlestone Primary School

Nature Navigators - Reception

Everyone has settled beautifully back into school, and it’s been a busy week of learning. Our new topic has begun! The class has been learning about underwater habitats and discovering where different sea creatures live. This has encouraged curiosity and early scientific thinking. We have also been using our observational skills to draw some sea creatures looking carefully at images. We have also been exploring the story Tiddler. The children have drawn their own versions of Tiddler and learnt lots of new vocabulary inspired by the text. This work has supported their comprehension and descriptive language skills. As part of our PSHE, we have explored the four seasons. We described key features of each season and selected their personal favourite. This supported our observational skills and understanding of changes in the natural world. In maths, we have been working with numbers up to 20, focusing on understanding what makes each number (tens and ones). We have been practising correct letter formation for t, paying attention to starting points and neatness.
