Our Trip to the Snow Centre ❄️

This week, Reception had a very exciting school trip to the Snow Centre! The children were full of excitement from the moment we climbed onto the coach. They did a fantastic job listening to instructions and were extremely well behaved throughout the journey and during the activity – we were very proud of them.

At the Snow Centre, the children had so much fun sliding down the snowy slope on rings. There were lots of smiles, laughter, and happy faces as they took turns zooming down the slope. It was a wonderful experience and a great opportunity for the children to try something new.

Back in the classroom, we have introduced our new topic: The Winter Olympics. As part of this, we have created our very own ice rink in the classroom where the children can practise figure skating through imaginative play. They have loved pretending to glide, spin, and perform like real Olympic skaters. We will be continuing our Winter Sports topic next week.

Phonics

This week in phonics we have focused on reading longer words. This term's tricky words were: was, you, they, are, my, by, pure, sure.

Please use the Little Wandle  website (section for parents) for revising the letter sounds with your child at home. 

We have noticed that the children are becoming more confident in using their phonics knowledge in writing which is very rewarding to see.😊

Maths

In maths this week we focused on numbers 6,7,8. We made the representations of these numbers and looked for numbers that are one more from the given number.

Have a lovely weekend!

 Hello all,  It was lovely to welcome the new Reception class this week. We were very impressed with how calm and engaged in play the children were on their first days of school. The children are slowly becoming familiar with the new routines and new friendships are being established. We have enjoyed singing and story time together. The class took part in PE sessions with Mr Mills and the music lesson with Mrs Lawrence which were lots of fun.  Each week Reception class will take part in three PE sessions  ( Monday, Wednesday, Thursday) and on Tuesdays the children will be joining the whole school for the music assembly and will have a music lesson.  Next week Reception class will start Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Phonics programme and will take part in daily maths sessions.  Please remember to bring named welly boots next week if you haven't done it yet.  Have a lovely weekend!

  Hello all, This week was all about spiders. We red information books to fid our amazing facts about spiders e.g. Spiders have oily legs so they don't stick to their webs. Water spiders live in webs full of water. When we came to school on Friday, we couldn't believe our eyes. There were spiders webs everywhere!!! We had a walk around the school grounds and we found lots beautifully crafted webs.  Our focus story this week was The very busy spider by Eric Carl. The children created amazing webs for our school corridor display. If you manage to take a picture of a web or a spider at the weekend, please send a picture to school or email it to me. Phonics In phonics the children have been introduced to the letter sounds: r, h, b, f. Our tricky word this week is: 'the'. Please revise all of the Autumn 1 letter sounds at home from the hand out you have been given. Your support is highly appreciated. Maths In maths we have been making repeating patterns using a variety of co...

Mental Health Week

 Our focus this week has been children's  mental health, we created lots of activities to support the children with their understanding of emotions. The children have a good understanding of what emotions are and we have spent time learning strategies to help us understand that all emotions are important and play a role in who we are. The children had a good understanding of  how they feel and they were all able to say that its good to talk about their feelings. We created some crazy hair photos which the children enjoyed making, they added words that expressed how they feel which was very enlightening. We  told stories and  made our own to demonstrate different ways to deal with different emotions. Although we have focused on  children's mental health  it is something that we do continually in early years. Supporting and encouraging children to understand emotions is very important. We tell them that sometimes it is ok not to be brave or strong, its o...
