Year Reception: What We Are Learning 

Our focus this week was Transition and enjoying our last week in Reception. 

Here is what we have been up too;

In Maths this week the children have put their skills to the test in a range of challenges. We made patterns, practised tally marks, drew numbers with chalk, made numbers with sticks and rocks and noticed which containers held the most amount of water.

The children participated in the Colour Run where they walked, jogged, or ran through a course while being gently sprinkled with coloured powder at various stations. It was super fun and the children had giant smiles while doing it!

The children were great audience members of Broadfords Got Talent where we watched great singing, dancing and comedy! Broadford really is full of talent!

As the school year comes to a close, we would like to thank you for your support and encouragement throughout the year. It has been a pleasure teaching your children and watching them grow in confidence, knowledge, and independence.

We hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing summer break filled with happy memories. Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing everyone in the new school year!

 Love the Reception team!

Year Reception: What We Are Learning 

Our focus book this week was Dear Zoo.

Here is what we have been up to:

In Literacy we recapped our red words the,a,I,of,he,go,to,my,was,you,we,they,she,have,all,her,see,way

and remembered that sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

We wrote a letter to the zoo asking if we could have an animal.

We used words such as a tall giraffe, a funny monkey and a long snake. 

In Maths this week the children have been adding two different numbers together to see the bigger number.

We looked at animals and thought if a penguin has 2 legs and a lion has 4 then there are 6 legs altogether.  

World cup dress up day

This week we all dressed up in our favourite football kits or the colour of the flag our class had in the school

sweepstake. Alder class had the Netherlands, Aspen class had Turkey and Apple class has Brazil.

We watched highlights of games, made football bookmarks, designed our own football kit and coloured

the World cup mascots. 

Zoo trip

This week we also went to Call of the wild zoo. We had a great time looking at all the animals,

listening to information about life cycles and watching the bird show. 

Well done Reception for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!

Year Reception: What We Are Learning 

This term our topic is Journeys. Our focus book this week was Katie in London.

What a hot week it has been! The children had a wonderful time keeping cool by enjoying a variety of water-based activities throughout the week. They had lots of fun splashing, pouring and exploring with water,while also developing their physical and sensory skills. As a special treat,everyone enjoyed a refreshing ice lolly,which was the perfect way to cool down in the warm weather!

This week we learnt all about London and British Values. 

In Literacy we recapped our red words the,a,I,of,he,go,to,my,was,you,we,they,she,have,all and remembered that sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop. This week we learnt how to write the set 2 sounds word ‘see’. We wrote about what landmarks we might see in London.

Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children and work on set 2 or 3 sounds as well as word time words (1.5, 1.6, 1.7 etc).

In Maths this week the children have been exploring  mapping is using pictures, symbols, marks, or drawings to show where places and objects are located and how they relate to each other. We looked at our local area and found places like the park and McDonalds. 

Well done Reception for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
