Week Beginning 18th October 21

 It is fair to say we are all ready for a well deserved break!!

Well done everyone for all the hard work this term. 

Please have a peek at our last week of work....

We enjoyed some spooky sorting and counting at the Maths table.

Our Autumn area has been investigated 

We are building on our writing skills, using our sounds to write simple three letter words. 

How many ways can you make number three using your fingers?

                                           Which one is the easiest way?

More fabulous writing in Phonics, some of us are becoming so confident with this now, well done.

Lots of shape related independent problem solving too this week, including making pictures with 2D shapes and building models with 3D solids.

We have included a couple of extra books in children's bags for half term so that they can continue their reading.

Also in your child's bag, if you have not completed it, (thank you if you have) is the school health form. Please return this to school as soon as possible after the half term. 

As the weather gets colder, please help your child over the break to practice doing up their coat. Of course we are here to help in class but, we encourage the children to do these jobs as soon as possible by themselves.

All that remains to say is HAVE A WONDERFUL HALF TERM EVERYONE.

We will see you back in school on the TUESDAY as the Monday is a PD Day.

Week Beginning 11th October 21

The end of the term is fast approaching...!

Class one children are continuing their journey of learning and discovery.

Children are doing well with their sounds and are now beginning to work with simple CVC (consonant,vowel,consonant) words.

Take a look at our busy week:

We have also completed the first set of sounds, so have been practicing writing them from memory.

Elsewhere, we have been thinking about the importance of keeping healthy and looking after our bodies, so what better way than to find some healthy snacks to feed 'Alan Alien'

Outside, we have had great fun with our giant bubble wands, trying to find out how to make the very best bubbles, not a bad effort,  I think you may agree.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

   

 Week beginning 8.10.21

Finally we have lift off with our Blog, following a couple of disrupted weeks, apologies for that.

we are still enjoying our 'All about me topic' and this week we have been thinking about what we can do, we even made our own class 'I Can' book.

We even had a go at writing our own 'I Can' sentences.

We continue with our Phonics on a daily basis and spend time daily completing activities with the sounds we are learning.

Many of us are enjoying independent table based activities which is really helping our hand eye coordination and pencil grip and control develop.

Phonics this week we have been looking at the sounds 'h, b, f, ff'

Please continue to hear your child read at home as much as possible and write in the journal so we know this is happening...thanks.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Week Beginning 3rd September 2021

 A big welcome to all the new children and their families! The term has well and truly started and we are all getting to know each other. 

We hope you will enjoy a sneak-peek view of your child's week while at school.

Let's get started....

We are beginning to learn sounds. in these pictures we had a go at writing them or simply making marks with a pen on a board. Well done everyone!

Children have enjoyed exploring different activities like 'Pin the Shape'...

...or made a summer garden!

Playing schools...

And much more...

We are very proud of our new class and how they have settled in, every one is very tired and deserves a big rest this weekend.

Well done

  

 A fantastic end to a fantastic year...

Well done everyone, you are all fantastic!

Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts and being as involved as you have been throughout a very tough year.

Take a look at out fabulous party pictures.

Have a wonderful Summer Holidays everyone!

Week Beginning 5th July 2021

This week we continued to work on 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch'.

We started off by writing a diary entry from Mr and Mrs Grinling's point of view.

 The children wrote in character and enjoyed sharing their thoughts about the seagulls. Lots of lovely vocabulary from the book started to appear in their writing. Fantastic!

We have continued to work on our PE skills too. As we are learning new playground games we practised one of our latest favourite: Pass the Hoop.  

We stand in a circle with a hoop over a child's arm. The team race against time to pass the hoop around the circle back to the start WITHOUT breaking hands.Take a look....

We decided to add more hoops and one of them was a lot smaller then the others...

And then came Sport's Day!!!!

Wow, what can we say?  We we're SO proud of our sports stars!

Not just for their sporting talent but their attitude and behaviour was just fantastic.

Well done.

Next Friday the children have an invite to our Class 1 party, to celebrate the end of our year in Reception.

Invites are in their book bags tonight.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
