We read the book Angry Arthur and talked about what we can do if we are feeling angry, we have also had a go at writing our ideas down using our phonics. In maths we have been looking at how we can represent numbers up to five using five frames, including what happens when we add one more or take one away. This has involved lots of singing songs such as ‘Five little ducks’ and ‘Five green bottles’. In outdoor learning we used ‘magic marbles’ to listen to all the nature we could hear around the school, we could hear birds, wind and even ants’ footsteps! We have also had fun creating our own butterflies where we did some folding, finger painting and cutting, they look fabulous! ### Reception Highlights 15/10/21 [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/reception-highlights-15-10-21/r1.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-15-10-21/r1.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-15-10-21/r2.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-15-10-21/r2.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-15-10-21/r3.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/gallery/reception-highlights-15-10-21/r3.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/11.png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2021-10-11-year-1-highlights) Previous ### [Year 1 Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2021-10-11-year-1-highlights) [![](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/imagecache/100x100c/news/64.jpg)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2021-10-15-year-6-highlights) Next ### [Year 6 Highlights](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news/2021-10-15-year-6-highlights) ### News & Events - [News](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news) - [Upcoming Events](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/events) - [Newsletters](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/news-events/Newsletters) - [![Absence Reporting Link](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/1(1)_(1).png)](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/absence-reporting) - [![Accelerated Reader](https://files.schudio.com/thepalmeracademy/images/partners/2(1)_(1).png)](https://login.renaissance.com/12d2ca4f-6beb-4887-82ee-ddfbdb0b88d4?state=145e0c43-7ae1-46eb-a2d3-c9224036ffb3) ##### Location 70 Northumberland Avenue Reading Berkshire RG2 7PP ##### Contact Us 0118 9375481 ##### Stay Connected - [X](https://twitter.com/R2PalmerAcademy) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThePalmerAcademy) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Palmer Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.thepalmeracademy.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
