Reception Learning - W.C 7. 3.25

 

Year Reception: What We Are Learning 

Reception have been working really hard this week. Our focus was Whatever Next!

Here is what we have been up to: We have learned the history of space travel, discussed planets and did a science experiment where we made our own space rocket using vinegar and bicarbonate of soda!

The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc this week. The children have all been assessed and are now working in groups based on this. In Literacy, we wrote about travelling to space in a rocket. We then drew our rocket and described it using words such as red, loud and big.  Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children and work on set 1 sounds as well as word time words (1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc).

In Maths this week the children have been looking at different ways to build 9 and 10. We counted and collected a range of items to show we know how to make 10. We also had parents stay and learn about maths. We had the opportunity to show our adults how great we are at maths. We enjoyed activities in the classroom about maths too!

World Book Day!

This week we also celebrated World Book Day. This year’s theme was ‘Read your Way’. To coincide with the theme, children were invited to come into school that day in either their favourite character costume or their snuggliest pyjamas. We read lots of books, designed book marks and went on a book hunt outside!

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

This week, two children in Nursery have received an 'E for Excellence' certificate.

We hope you all had a lovely half term break, we have enjoyed welcoming the children back in this week.

 Important Information 

Evidence Me- Please check this as we have recently posted information on Parent meetings, World book day and a Mother's Day brunch.

Nappies and wipes - If your child is in nappies and requires changing in Nursery please bring nappies and also a pack of wipes. You can bring in a pack and leave this here if you would prefer to do this. 

Coats, wellies, gloves and hats - As we are outside often we would advise the children to wrap up warm. Please do help us by labelling anything the children bring in as then we can help return any missing items to the correct owner! Please also encourage the children to independently try and put on their coats and hats etc at home, staff will always help if needed but we always encourage independence. 

Havering Children's Centre- The Havering Children's Centre are currently trying to ensure that all families with children under 5 years of age are registered with their local children's centre. We encourage you to register your child as this will help with their development and wellbeing. 

                                                                            

                                                                        Art Area

The children have enjoyed exploring different utensils to see what kinds of patterns we can create this week. They experimented with the best ways to push the tools to make a big mark. 

                                                                  Malleable area

We have added flowers and twigs to our malleable area so the children can explore different scents and smells. They have enjoyed finding ways to make the sticks stand up really high! 

                                                                   Home Corner 

The children have been using this area lots this week. They have been excited to see packets of cereal's or bottles they have recognised and it has supported them to talk about their different experiences of food at home. 

                                                         Group Time

This week our pre-school children have been reading the story 'The Enormous Turnip'. They have been able to join in with the repeated phrases. They have explored the Turnips and the farm in the tuff tray, they have used it to create their own versions of the story and have added different characters in. As a group we have begun to talk about different parts of stories and the children worked together to order pictures from the story this week. 

 Our younger children have enjoyed listening to a story called 'Oh Dear!' They have been looking for the hidden eggs. We have learnt the animal names and noises through a fun dice game. The children have rolled the dice, been encouraged to say a sentence to name the animal and then have made the noise of the animal.
