Reception

Hello everyone, We have made it to the Christmas holiday!!! I think we all deserve a pat on the back. The children have adjusted very well to the new rules and we thank you for supporting us throughout this challenging time. This week was very festive in Reception. The children had lots of dancing, playing party games and making Christmas decorations. Thank you so much for your very generous Christmas gifts. We are truly being spoilt by you. Have a Merry Christmas and we wish you and your families all the best in the New Year. Reception team Here is a Christmas treat from your children. Enjoy!

Hello all, What a busy and an exciting week we have had in Reception!  We have been singing, dancing, making Christmas decorations and learning about Christmas traditions. On Friday all the children looked festive in their Christmas jumpers. We had fun singing Christmas songs around the fire in our outdoor classroom and we have enjoyed the delicious Christmas dinner.

 Hello all, This week the Reception class was creating winter landscape pictures for our art display. The children made winter trees and printed animal footsteps in the snow. With the sparkle of silver glitter the pictures look magical. We have introduced the new role play area to our classroom. We have a coffee shop with busy waiting staff, cashiers, kitchen staff and customers. The area is very popular and we can see great social skills being practised by the children. Phonics This week  the children were introduced to the letter sounds: x, y, z and qu. Please practise reading words: box, yes, zip and quiz. You can also encourage your child to write or copy the words. Next week we will start learning digraphs: ch, sh, th and ng. We will also learn reading the tricky words: we, me and be.
