Reception have shown so much enthusiasm and creativity during this year’s Enterprise Week!
We have had a busy week of learning and have shown excellent team work skills with our friends.
To begin the week, we shared lots of our ideas about our company name and logo design. We made posters to advertise our product and created our own class song to encourage everyone to buy our Pencil Toppers!
After working out the cost of our Pencil Toppers, we set up our own shop in class where we engaged in lots of role-play to develop our buying and selling skills! This was a great way to develop our communication and language! We handled different coins and found out that coins have different values. We decided to keep our shop set up in class all week as we enjoyed using it so much!
Our favourite part of the week was making our Pencil Toppers! We made lots of different designs including a frog, ladybird, butterfly, spider, star and heart! We decorated them with lots of tiny sparkly gems. This activity helped develop our fine motor skills.
During our English lesson, we enjoyed describing our Pencil Toppers. We talked about the designs, colours and what we liked best about them. We practised writing some of the initial sounds of the words, for example h for heart and s for star. We also had a try at writing some words too!
Finally, we made sure we put everyone’s order in the correct envelope so that we could deliver them to all of the classes.
Today, we reflected on all of the learning powers we have built on this week and especially focused on the meaning of ‘perseverance’ as we didn’t give up throughout the week!
Thanks to everyone who bought one of our Pencil Toppers! Lots of us in Reception bought one and we can’t wait to use them at home. Some of us are excited to complete our homework with them!
A special thanks to Miss Carruthers for organising such a fun and exciting week of learning!
My favorite was the spider pencil !
