Reception have had so much fun learning with the Tiny Tweeties! We love singing everyday in school so it was so good to be part of their live workshop. Toffee Bear even came along to join in with us.
We have loved reading the story ‘Super Duper You’ this week. The children have thought about what makes them super duper. Look at how proud they are of their fantastic work and look at their amazing ideas.
This week we have been listening to the story Elmer. We have had lots of fun retelling the story of Elmer and practising our letter formation in our new colourful tuff tray.
Keep up the fantastic work!
The children have started learning set 1 sounds and have been taking part in daily RWI phonics lessons. They have loved exploring our sound stones in the outdoor area and have even been word building with the sounds we know. SUPER READERS RECEPTION!
We have been super in Reception. We read the story ‘The Button Box’ and then sorted our own class button box. We found lots of different ways to sort our buttons. Can you guess the criteria we came up with to sort our buttons?
The children in Reception have really enjoyed exploring their new classroom and their new outdoor area. They have made lots of new friends and have impressed their teachers with how well they have responded to the new daily routine.
We cannot wait to see the achievements the children make this year and we look forward to working with all of our new families!
