Reception
Welcome to Reception Class!
The adults in the room are:
Mrs Sealey, Miss Joles, Miss Bastin & Miss Mathews.
Within the Reception curriculum there are seven areas of learning. These are:
- Maths
- Literacy
- Understanding the world
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Expressive arts
- Physical development
- Communication and language
How do we support these areas of learning in play? These photos demonstrate the children busy in play, learning so much as they explore their classroom...
How can you help at home?
- Reading books at least once a day. This can just be enjoying a book and looking at the pictures, not always reading the whole thing
- Pointing out words in the environment
- Sounding out words, such as; can you see the c-a-t?
- Singing nursery rhymes e.g. 1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive
- Counting EVERYTHING! Socks, sweets, birds, cars etc
- Writing your child's name with them
- Allowing your child to help with tasks such as baking, cooking
- Playing games such as I spy
Term One
We would like to give a warm welcome to everyone. What a fantastic first week the children had. The children made lots of new friends and have started to build bonds with their teachers. Take a look at their beautiful smiles.
The children enjoyed their first week, exploring their learning environment. Have a look at their fun activities.
Take a look at all the fun things your children have been doing this week. They have had lots of fun, especially getting messy in the flour.
Here are some photos of the children exploring these areas:
What a busy first full week the children have had. The children have enjoyed listening to the story 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. They have also had lots of fun making their own beanstalks. They have also been enjoying the dry weather and have been exploring our outdoor area.
Another busy week the children have had, we have been looking at our families this week.
This week the children have been learning about their emotions. We have read the book 'The colour monster' and have had lots of fun exploring the different colours and learning about the different emotions we feel.
