#### Castles

##### What a fanatastic term Reception have had. After we had found the dragon egg we began to learn about knights and castles. We acted out the roles in the castle and talked about the features of a castle. Reception read their own non-fiction book about castles and then built castles themselves.

##### In Maths we carried on learning our numbers to 20 but we also began to find out about sharing equally. We share knights between 2, 3 and 4 castles.

##### Jack had stolen all the words from the story so we had to put them back in for him. First we sequenced the story and retold it to our friends. In Maths we ordered items by size and enjoyed measuring things around the classroom.

##### Our favourite part of the term was when our special adults came into school to hear us sing some songs. We also shared a castle banquet with them and told them what we had been learning.
