Week 4 in Reception 2024

We have had another really good week in Reception and all the children have been busy embedding our school rules, practicing lining up and taking part in many crafts, maths, mark making and early writing activities.   This week we have:

  • Listened to our class story ‘We Are All Wonders’ and looked at what makes us wonderful.
  • Investigated and explored all our human emotions.  Looking at what different human emotions we have, what they look like, how they make us feel and how we can help people.
  • We have been learning how to count different objects up to 5 effectively, looking at 1:1 correspondence.
  • We have continued learning our new sounds in Phonics. This week we learnt g,o,c and k. Homework should have come home on Thursday.
  • We met our school dogs and talked about what they do in school and how we care for our pets.
  • Practised our mark making skills and early writing in lots of different ways. We are continuing to helping the children to have a firm, secure grip on their pens and pencils.
  • Continued to play out on the big playground at lunchtimes and during afternoon play, taking part in playtime games, making new friends and meeting up with siblings.

Next week

We will be reading the book ‘A Handful of Buttons’ and talking about who is in our family.  We will be discussing how all families are different and special.

We will be continuing to looking at ‘Ourselves’.  We will be looking at different artist and creating our own self-portraits using poster paint.

We will be introducing the children to ‘Harvest’ and taking the children to look at our school allotment to show them how vegetables grow.

Homework

Please continue to help your child recognise their written name at home and talk to them about the colour group they are in, as this will really help us in class.

We will create a gallery of photos each week and post it on the VLE. If your child does not appear on the photos, it is because we don't have permission from you to post their photo.

Have a great weekend.

From all of the Reception team.
