Maths Week in Reception!

24th Oct 2021

All our learning in Reception Class is holistic! For Maths Week we made play dough in the Children's Kitchen!

We had to count and measure the ingredients carefully:

2 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
1 cup of water
2 desert spoons of oil
1 tea spoon of cream of tartar

We enjoyed this activity. 

We used language of order eg 'first' we pour the flour into the bowl, 'next' we add the salt. We used language linked to shapes and size eg circle, big, round. We used mathematical language when making and playing with the dough eg the bowl is 'empty,' you have rolled a 'long' sausage.

Making play dough is a wonderful way to learn! We enjoyed it so much we made some orange play dough for Halloween!
