Outdoor learning

Reception class have really enjoyed exploring our brand new outdoor area, whilst settling into our school! We have been exploring the mud kitchen, sand pit, construction area, growing beds and have also been practising our balancing skills, with a little help from our friends.

Playdough faces

As part of our All About Me topic, we have been thinking about and discussing who is in our family. We created members of our family using playdough and loose parts.

My family display

After identifying our own family members, we drew some family portraits. Some of us even labelled our pictures, practising writing our own names and names of people in our family. Don’t they look lovely on our classroom wall!

Number 1

This week we have started our number of the week learning in maths. We started this week by learning all about the number one. We looked at different ways we can represent one including using numicon, tens frames and objects. We then practised counting out 1 item from our counting basket. Finally, we practised writing the number 1 on our whiteboards.

Oral blending

In Reception we have been practising our oral blending skills. We practised listening to Fred the Frog saying sounds and blending them together to say the word. We used animal pictures and had to listen to the Fred talk and choose the animal picture that Fred was saying.

Noah’s Ark

As part of our learning of the number 2, we looked at the story Noah’s Ark, where the animals all enter the ark 2 by 2. We acted out the story using some of our props, using lots of language around the number 2 including ‘pairs’, ‘2 by 2’ and ‘1 and another one’. Some of us also made our own Noah’s Arks using our Duplo!

Room on the Broom

In Reception we have been focusing on the story ‘Room on the Broom’ this week. We read the story lots of times throughout the week, and became very familiar with the words. We explored the rhyming words in the story. We then practised sequencing the story using pictures. As we were ordering the story, we used lots of story language to tell our teachers what was happening in the picture!

Halloween fun!

We have been having lots of Halloween fun in Reception this week! We have been mixing up lots of potions in our role play area, making pumpkins using collage in the art area, and exploring the inside of some pumpkins in the water tray. It was so much fun!
