Learning is fun in reception.

We have had a fun week in reception. Children have settled in very well, they have got used to their new environments really quickly and are happy.

We have been looking at the letters we know - seeing what sounds the letters make, not their names. Please help practice this at home.

We have been looking at which numbers we know 1-10. 

Next week we will be looking at ourselves. Please bring photographs of when you were a baby, and / or your family for us to share and discuss. We will be learning about growing up and the stages we will grow through.

Welcome to Reception

We are nearly coming to the end of our Reception Transition weeks and we have all done so well. What a lovely class we have. Everyone has settled in really well and got used to their new routines and environments so quickly. Here are a few photos of what we have been up to....

Receptions fun day

What an exciting fun day we've had today in reception and nursery. We have zoo academycoming in to show us his amazing mini beasts. We saw a giant millepede, a tarantula, a leaf insect, a giant lime green stick insect, a giant African snail and a hissing cockroach. Have a look......

We also had fun playing outside, on the bouncy castle, making clay mini beasts and making mini beast masks.

Receptions trip to the airport

On Thursday 16th July, reception went on their trip to the airport, runway visitor centre. We had an amazing day and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. During the day we were able to have a look around the site, view aeroplanes taking off and landing (including the airbus). We also had a tour run by the visitor centre where we saw the magnificent concord and played role-play in an old aeroplane pretending to be flight attendants, pilots, police, fire fighters. Here are just a few of our pictures:
