Reception

Well done for another great week everyone! 

This week we continued our learning of Marvellous Machines. We looked at vehicles from the past and present. It was very interesting to look at the differences between them. We looked at different machines in our homes and spoke about what they do and where they belong. We really enjoyed reading the story 'Car Car Truck Jeep'. 

In Maths this week, we explored and continued repeatting patterns. We focused on ABC patterns and created our own ABC patterns in the garden. 

This week we celebrated Healthy Eating Week by making our own Fruit Yoghurt Bowl. The pupils really enjoyed this and learnt about what foods are healthy and what foods are unhealthy. 

Some of you may have noticed we have had new sand delievered, the pupils have had an amazing time playing in the sandpit. Thank you so much to Sunbelt Rentals for donating it to us! 

Sports Day is next Friday please wear your house colour! If you are unsure what your child's house colour is then please check the classroom windows. 

Welcome back! 

This week in Maths, we have started learning about doubling. The pupils have been exploring how adding two of the same numbers together creates a double. They have really enjoyed identifying and making doubles in a variety of ways and have shown great enthusiasm during our activities. Next week, we will be learning about repeating patterns and creating some of our own. 

In Topic, we have begun our exciting new topic, 'Marvellous Machines'. We started by identifying products that use electricity to help them work and discussed how different machines do different things. We explored how a microwave works and talked about some of the foods we can cook or heat up in one. The pupils particularly enjoyed watching popcorn being heated in the mircrowave and listening carefully as it popped! Next week, we will be looking at machines from the past. 

Today, we also had a very exciting assembly with a visit from Fizz Pop. The pupils watched a variety of fascinating bubble experiments and were amazed by what they saw. They enjoyed learning all about bubbles and were eager to learn more. 

We hope you have a lovely weekend and look forward to another week of learning and fun. 

A lovely end to Summer 1!

Well done to RB for an amazing class assembly. You should all feel very proud. We particuallry enjoyed your spring chicken song. 

Thank you to everyone who attended our shared learning. It was lovely spending the morning with you all. 

Next half term our topic begins with Marvellous Machines. In Maths, we will be focusing on doubling, numbers to 20, making maps and number bonds to 10. 

We hope you have a fun and safe half-term! 

Well done for a great week everyone!

This week in Maths, we have been consolidating our learning of number bonds to 10. The pupils took part in a range of practical and written activites to help strengthen their understanding and recall. They have loved the activities and are becoming increasingly confident in recalling their number bonds to 10. We also completed our end of year Maths assessment, and the pupils have worked incredibly hard and did an amazing job. We are so proud of them! 

In Topic, we talked about the places that are special to use and discussed the reasons why they are special. We enjoyed reading Knuffle Bunny and explored the places that were important to Trixie in the story before sharing our own. 

We have been practising our handwriting this week and were very excited to write some sentences in our new Year 1 books ready for next year! 

Have a lovely weekend everyone! 

Monday 20th July - Last day of term, 1:15pm finish. 

Well done for a great week everyone! 

This week in Maths, we explored positional language to describe where objects are located. The pupils worked collaboratively in groups, moving objects and using vocabulary such as; beside, next to, in, on and between.

In Topic, we learned about different types of machines and the important jobs they do. We looked at diggers, trucks, and tractors discussing their names, features, and purposes. The pupils then drew their favourite machines and wrote captions to describe them. 

As part of Science Week, we focused on habitats and how our actions can affect them. The pupils took part in an exciting investigation, sorting through poulluted sand and water to think about the impact of litter and pollution on wildlife. Pupils then designed and created their own habitats using recycled materials. 

We finished the week with a very exciting Sports Day! All of the pupils took part showing excellent determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We are incredibly proud of everyone for trying their best and having fun throughout the day. Well done, Reception!

We hope you have a lovely weekend.
