Reception

Dear Parents,

We hope your children have had a good first few weeks at school. 

We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting the children and working with them. They are a delightful group of young people and we look forward to our adventure, exploring and learning together.

It was a pleasure to meet you all at the curriculum evening.. We hope we can all work together as a strong school/home team to ensure the children achieve their full potential in all areas of their learning.

Kind regards

Karen Lambert & Sue Loader

Learning through PLAY!

What a busy time we have had the first few weeks at school.

Just a few photos for you to see how much learning we have been doing.

We have had a busy week at school and we are beginning to find our feet. We understand rules and we are remembering to say please and thank you.

We have been trying hard to share this week and be kind to each other.

We have also been introduced to some sounds. We had fun using the Interactive Whiteboard and magnetic letters to make words and hear sounds.

We have been working on our physical development in PE and in our outside area by digging and pulling tyres and planks around.

Mrs Loader says we are all ready for a good rest at the weekend.

5th October 2018

We have been working to develop our fine motor skills. We need to do this to help us hold a pencil to be able to write and draw.

We have also been working hard on recognising numbers to 10 or 20. We used the ipads in technology to work on maths games. 

We have also had lots of opportunities to learn through our role play, outside area, the water, sand and construction area. We have ridden on our bikes and climbed on the pirate ship.

Week ending 12th October 2018

The weather this week has felt so glorious that we have spent lots of time outside. We loved building with the large construction equipment outside and some of us even built a tower taller than Mrs Loader (not too difficult admittedly!)

We have been doing lots of writing and counting. Curiosity made us have a look at the cause and effect of pushing something over. 

Building chairs and bedrooms out of crates has never been so much fun. Our class has been making up some prayers to for our prayer garden. Please come in and read them if you have time.

Another busy week in Reception learning, discovering and exploring through play.

We have had a long half term and we are all ready for a break. Our teachers would like us to have a good rest but they ask that someone reads to us every day in the holidays for fun.
