The children have enjoyed their learning at ‘ACE ices’ this week. They have taken on the roles of staff and customers with enthusiasm and it has been wonderful to hear the development of relevant vocabulary. They have also demonstrated their number sense in deciding how much to charge. Patience and understanding with turn taking has been evident, revealing how much children mature during the Reception year.

The ice-cream flavours they have invented for ‘the specials board’ are very creative.

Look at the height of our class bean plant!

The children have been delighted to measure its recent growth: now 20 cubes tall. We also noticed the curved shape of the soft leaves. If the plant is to flourish further, we may need a deeper pot (and a more appropriate stake).

It has been wonderful to hear about how the children are looking after their own plants at home. Please do send in progress photos (via Tapestry) if you have any.

On Friday, during storytelling, we allowed our imaginations to take us on an adventure to the top of a beanstalk. Can the children tell you what happened in their story?
