Save the date - World Book Day | World Book Day is a registered charity.  Our mission is to give every child and young person a book of their own.

Safer Internet Day in Reception

In our E-Safety lesson with Miss Walton this week, we had lots of discussion about what the internet is, how it works, how useful is it to have access to devices which let us find information quickly and easily and how we can ensure we use these devises safely. The children offered some wonderful ideas and comments and produced some lovely mindfulness colouring to compliment this learning. Here is the story we interacted with for you to view at home!

One night Chick hops onto the farmer’s house and has a browse on his computer – CLICK – soon she’s shopping online for the whole farm!

Reception Product Day

On Friday the children will be making their product for this expedition, please can the children bring an old oversized T-shirt that you don’t mind them getting paint on, or something big enough to protect their uniform, this could even include old trousers.  
Thank you from the Reception team x

Phonics RED words!

The children have been working ever so hard this year with their phonics learning and are doing so well with their reading and writing. Not only do they have to learn to blend and segment green words (decodable words) they also learn to read Red words (sight words). Red words are the words that the children don’t blend or segment and they just know them on sight. To help them further with their confidence of Red words I have added a list below of their first set of Red words and a few fun ways to help them learn them at home. Please send in photographs of your children’s learning or write how well they have done in their reading diary’s.

Have fun!

F2 Family Learning

We were very lucky to have an amazing Family Learning session in F2 this afternoon. We were exploring our expedition focusing on how things grow and change. We were thinking about things that help us to grow and change like a healthy diet, exercise, taking care of our teeth and looking after our bones.

A massive thank you to all the grown ups who managed to join us this afternoon. It was lovely to see so many faces and the children really enjoyed welcoming you into their classrooms.

Well done Reception Crew

Exploring 6,7,8.

In F2 we have been looking at the numbers 6,7 and 8. We have been looking at the composition of the numbers and how we can represent in different ways. the children managed to find lots of different ways to show us the numbers. We have been so impressed with how hard they are all working.

Well done Reception Crew.

I wonder what we will discover next week ?
