Hello all This week in Reception has been full of exciting learning and celebrations! We had a very busy week, starting with our Earth Day. The children explored a globe and talked about our planet, discussing simple but important ways each of us can help to look after it. We also enjoyed reading a book about recycling, which helped us understand how we can reduce waste and care for the environment in our everyday lives. Later in the week, we learned about St George’s Day and explored some English traditions. The children were curious and engaged, asking thoughtful questions and sharing their own ideas. One of the highlights of the week was our Flamenco workshop. The children had so much fun taking part, and it was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and confidence shine through. We certainly have some amazing dancers in our class! Phonics In phonics our focus was on segmenting words into sounds for writing. The children were introduced to the following tricky words: some, so, have, like...

What an Amazing Week in the Pool! Hello all, What an amazing week we’ve had – our very first swimming sessions have begun, and what a splash the children made! The excitement was contagious as each child had their first opportunity to experience the swimming pool. It was such a joy to see their faces light up with confidence and enthusiasm as they took to the water. We were incredibly proud of how brave and adventurous they were. Whether it was getting used to the water, floating with support, or just having fun with their friends, every child gave it their best – and it showed! These swimming lessons will continue over the next three weeks, and we’re so excited to see how the children progress and grow even more confident in the water. Just a gentle reminder: please remember to send your child’s swimming clothes in every day so they’re ready to jump in and enjoy their sessions. Thank you, as always, for your support. Maths In maths we have been learning learning to make num...

Hello all, This week in Reception, we have been learning all about Easter traditions and what they mean. We talked about how Easter is a special celebration of new life, growth, and new beginnings. To help us understand this, we planted our own cress seeds and carefully looked after them. We were very excited to see how much they have grown! This helped us see how new life can begin from something very small. We also had lots of fun making our own butter. The children worked together, taking turns to shake the mixture and watching it change. It was amazing to see how it turned into butter! Once our cress had grown, we used it to make delicious cress sandwiches. The children helped to prepare them, and we all enjoyed tasting what we had made together. Maths This week, the children have been exploring shapes in their environment. Through interactive games and hands-on activities, they have been learning to recognise both 2D and 3D shapes around them. We have discussed familiar shapes lik...
