Reception have been exploring different occupations. We have been role playing in our Police Station. The children were very excited to investigate a robbery from the shed. After taking finger prints we found the thief!
In Mathematics we have been exploring numbers beyond 10 in a variety of different ways.
Reception have been enjoying a variety of activities when learning about traditional tales. They designed baskets for Little Red Riding Hood, wrote recipes and tasted porridge like The Three Bears, built houses out of straw, sticks and bricks like the Three Little Pigs and made puppets of the characters. Below are just a few of the activities they enjoyed.
This week’s phonemes are i,n,m.d We will practise these daily on Monday to Thursday and consolidate on Friday.
In our RE sessions this week we will be looking at the talents that God gave us. Please could you send in a photograph of your child doing something they are good at. This might be riding a bike, baking, dancing, football, colouring etc.
Below are a few photographs of our first week at school.

We went on a walk to find some of the things that God created.
Today we picked the potatoes the we grew outside. We made potato salad and then ate it! Some of us enjoyed it, some of us didn’t.

Reception had a fantastic trip to Tesco yesterday which was linked to our healthy eating topic. The children got to look around the store and became staff members for the morning. They went behind the scenes to look at the stock and got very cold looking in the huge fridge! We hunted around the fruit and veg to find food on our checklists. We visited the bread, cheese and fish counters too. Some children were brave enough to hold a mackerel and a mussel! We finished off by sampling some of the fruit, veg, bread and cheese, delicious!
This week we have been learning how to continue a rhyming string. The children have really enjoyed listening to lots of Dr Seuss stories (cat in the hat, fox in socks etc). They also learnt how use a simple program on Education City, matching rhyming words and popping initial sound balloons.
We also practised our ball skills, throwing, catching and kicking a ball to our friends in a controlled manner. We didn’t let the rain stop us going outside!
We have been ordering by length and height this week. We have been measuring our shoes and our own height. We’ve been using the following words: shortest, longest, tallest and smallest.
We have been hearing and saying the initial sound of words.
We have created shape pictures and have been talking about their properties.
The children thoroughly enjoyed dressing up as doctors, nurses and patients and raising money for start a heart.
What a busy/fun week Reception have had! They have been making friends, learning how to listen, share, take turns & sit on the carpet. They also met their Year 6 prayer friends and will spend some more time tomorrow getting to know them. I think we will have 30 tired children on Friday (as well as 3 adults).
