Autumn 2 Week 1

Posted: Nov 14, 2021 by: M Turner (m.turner) on: Reception Blog

Welcome back after the half term. The children had lots to tell us about what they had been doing over the holidays and also Halloween.

This week we have learnt about the number 4 and also part part whole models. We have learnt another set of sounds and harder to read and spell words.

We have had 2 new vocabulary words to learn about magnificent and celebration. We have looked at a couple of celebrations in our learning. We learnt about the celebration of Diwali and bonfire night. We have made Rangoli patterns on hands and also different fire work pictures.

This week we have introduced 'mini-me challenges'. The children have a mini picture of themselves on a specific challenge of the day, some of these challenges can be just as simple as putting the correct animals into their habitats, then we have other challenges that may be a little trickier for some like the conker phonic challenge where they use the conker letters to write out the given picture. This helps the children visit areas that they may not normally access and enhance their learning.

Also this week we have began to think about Christmas and a performance. We all got together on the carpet to listen and try and join in one of the songs that will be performed. More information on this will come in later weeks.

Lastly we have had our weekly celebration assembly where we come together to congratulate each other on our achievements, lots more certificates handed out. We looked at the leader boards on the Numbots activity and noticed that not many people have accessed this here is the link to the website needed and you all should have a log on in the back of the reading log, the children can access this themselves and helps with maths and math skills whilst trying to earn credits to build a robot ( very good education game for them to play).
