Giraffes Can't Dance in Reception

User Rating:  / 2

This week Reception are reading the story 'Giraffes Can't Dance' by Giles Andreae. In Maths we have been helping Captain Conjecture count sets of objects and matching them to the correct number. All our activities have been linked to helping Gerald or practising our counting.

Please [click here] if you would like to play the 'Underwater Counting' game that we have been playing on our iPads.

We developed our fine motor skills by putting plasters on Gerald when he had fallen over.

We enjoyed retelling the story in our Tuff Spot.

We helped Freddie Four find different sets at our touchscreen.

We counted animals to match to the Numicon in our sand tray.

We developed our cutting skills by cutting out the animals from the story.

We enjoyed writing about the story at our writing tables.

We even painted pictures of Gerald!
