Here is a snapshot of what we have been doing this week in Reception.

For our maths we have continued looking at the number 2 so we have a better understanding about what we know about it.

For Phonic lessons we have now started to look at our sounds.

We now have learnt all 4 sounds and what words we could think of that begin with them sounds. We have also learnt how to form the letters. We have started to look at tricky words which we can't sound out. The 2 words we have looked at are 'The and I'.

We have continued with our Topic of Toys and this week we have been drawing our favourite toys and if we could write the initial sound.

In school we have 'Investors in pupils' where the children get to choose their target and a treat for when they have achieved this. We link this to our British Values and the children vote for the treat.

Here are the children in Miss Turners class voting for their treat.

Miss Turners class decided they wanted to come in their pyjamas for the day.

Here is Mrs Smarts children voting.

They chose to have popcorn and a film.

We have started Vocab words in the afternoon, these are the words we have looked at this week and we have talked about the meanings of these. We will have 3 different words every week.

A bit of a reminder all children have now a reading book and a keyring with words on. Can we ask that if you have read with your child just pop a comment in the book so we know even if its just a signature. Many thanks Reception team.

What we have been doing this week (commencing 21st September)

Janet Spencer (j.spencer) on: Reception Blog

This Week in Reception we have been doing lots more exploring. We have washed babies in the water tray, we have been exploring numbered boats and more and less sheets in the maths area. We have had free choice in the writing areas.  

 In our carpet sessions we have looked at the number 2, how to form and write the numeral 2. What a 2 numicon looks like and also how we can make the number 2.

In our topic we have started to look at our favourite toys. We talked about them and said why we liked them and what we do with them.                                                                                               

We have also been busy making our Reception display board for in the corridor. We enjoyed making ourselves and then writing our names. 

We are very proud of what the children achieved.

Unfortunately the weather had a turn this week and we have had rain. Can we ask that you practise with your child to fasten coats and also if they can have suitable footwear for the wet conditions.

Settling in

Janet Spencer (j.spencer) on: Reception Blog

Over the last two weeks we have been settling into Reception. We have learned new routines and timetables. We have learnt that we need to wash our hands lots, coming in on a morning, after being outside, before snack, before lunch, after lunchtime break, and again between learning sessions on the carpet.

We enjoyed our snack on the carpet together.

We all ate our lunch in the dining hall.

We also had fun exploring both inside and outside provision.

We are now excited to see what we are going to be learning about next.

If at any point you have any questions please email the class teacher.

Anna Head (a.head) on: Reception Blog - 2019-20

This week we have had lots of fun. We Have had pancake day and also world book day to fit in to our busy timetable.

We started to look at number 10 as well as continuing with supertato activities.

On Tuesday we had pancake day. We ordered how to make a pancake in our writing, wrote pancake poems, designed pancakes and also added using numbered pancakes and pans.  Miss Callaghan and Mrs Sturgess worked with the children to make pancakes and taste them. The children really enjoyed choosing their toppings and then eating them.

Thursday was also a busy day and was so lovely seeing all the children dressed up as their favourite characters. Well done everyone you all looked amazing.

The book winner from class RT from last half term is Hunter Shackleton. Well done

Mrs Smarts winner will be awarded their prize next week.
