Exploring Teen Numbers, by Mrs Perry

Date: 30th Apr 2026 @ 11:32am

In Reception, the children have been learning about teen numbers through simple games. We used a egg box as a ten frame by filling it with ten pon-poms so children can see a full ten. Then, extra pom-poms are added to show numbers like 11 or 15 as “ten and some more.” Playing games, such as rolling a dice and adding more objects, helped children understand teen numbers in a fun and practical way.

This term we are looking at Plants in our Science unit. We began, this week, by carefully observing and drawing the flowering plants in our school grounds.A few weeks ago we took delivery of some very tiny larvae, caterpillars. We have watched them eat, get bigger and fatter and then create a chrysalis. This week some of the chrysalis, "hatched" and beautiful butterflies emerged. We released them in the school gounds so they could enjoy freedom surrounded by flowers. Some Year 1 children helped us release the butterflies to the wild.
