week 2 live learning

Janet Spencer (j.spencer) on: Reception Blog

It has been another busy week. It has been lovely to see you all attending the online sessions we are doing again.

we have looked at 2 new sounds in our phonics lessons 'ai' and 'ee'. here is some of the lovely work you have done with this.

   We loved the way we used the snow to make our sounds                                                            

In Maths this week we have looked at doubling and halving. You all did some amazing work with this well done.

We also had a go at 1 more and 1 less and also some addition.

Our story relating to our topic was Eric the knight and we all enjoyed the story and writing and drawing pictures about him including a really good story map.

Please remember to keep your eyes open for stories uploaded to tapestry!

We look forward to seeing all your snowy pictures, snowmen and other things that you have been up to over the next week!

Stay Safe

Reception team.

Week 1 of live lessons

Week 1 of live online lessons

It has been a very busy week and well done to all the children joining in with the live lessons, it is a new way of working and you are doing a great job. We are all learning about teams together.

We have recapped qu, ch, th, sh in our phonics and joined in with lots of writing during the live lessons and some sheets and writing practice after them too.

We have looked at the number 6 in our maths lessons and learnt about hexagons, cubes and cuboids and all about their properties.

We enjoyed making 6 in different ways and looking at part part whole.

And went on a shape hunt and made towers of cubes and cuboids.

In Literacy/Topic we have talked about what we did over Christmas and how we celebrated.

We have set ourselves some goals for 2021.

We have learnt about winter and how our world changes and written about it.

And we have introduced our new topic.

Was it fun to be a knight of the round table? Some of us thought it would be but some thought it wouldn't.

Lila Thought it would be because she would ride a horse were as Lenny thought it wouldn't because you have to fight people.

We showed off our Art work to create a castle or knight.

Wow what a busy week.

Christmas week and party

Janet Spencer (j.spencer) on: Reception Blog

We have had so much fun in Reception the last week of school.

We have looked at writing words of 'what's in the stocking'. We have done Christmas counting. Christmas spot the difference and lots of Christmas colouring. We have also been busy making Calendars, tree decorations and Christmas Cards to take home.

We have had so much fun on our party day. In the morning we watched Elf on the shelf film. After lunch the real fun began. We played party games like pass the parcel and corners. We had dancing games, musical statues and a best dancer competition.

After all that fun we calmed down a little with party food.

After all the fun of the day it was back to the classroom for a story but the children got really excited because we had a socially distanced visitor of Santa.

We hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and a happy new year.

We look forward to seeing you all back in school on the 4th of January

VE Day

We have loved seeing you photos how you all celebrated VE day. 

We have seen street parties, cream teas and family picnics.

We have created flags and bunting to decorate our houses and dressed in Red White and Blue.

All remembering a special time 75 years ago.
