RECEPTION

The weeks are flying by, and we can’t believe we are on week 4 already! This week has been another busy week in Reception with the children all demonstrating excellent woodwork skills making their animals using the hammer and screwdrivers. They have made hedgehogs, rabbits and piglets to name a few examples and they all look fantastic!

In Oak, our creative classroom, Reception have developed their painting skills by moving onto printing. Animal footprints and tree printing have inspired lots of discussions about various animals and their habitats including where they live and what they eat. Carrying on with our animal theme, the vets is still very popular in our role play corner with the children engaging with lots of real-life play as they care for all the poorly animals.

In Phonics, all the children have worked well learning the sounds oo, ar and or, using car parks and even Cheerios to aid their learning. We have also started to write captions to match pictures.

In Maths, we have been comparing numbers playing lots of the 80s TV classic ‘Play your cards right’ with excited shouting of ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ echoing in the classroom! We are now number experts ordering numbers 1-10.

Next week we are looking forward to our trip to the Railway Museum and lots of
