Whatever the weather
We’ve had a fantastic week in Reception, filled with lots of exciting learning and new discoveries!
Phonics
This week we began our phonics journey and learned to recognise the sounds s, a, t, p. The children practised blending these sounds to read simple words such as at, sat, pat, tap, and sap. They were very proud of their reading and are beginning to feel like real readers already! We will send out the log in details to access the online Rhino Reader e-books next week.
Maths
In maths, we focused on counting to 5. We practised saying the numbers in order and counted lots of different objects around the classroom. The children also worked on recognising numerals and matching them to quantities.
Science
Our science learning was all about the seasons and weather. The children explored how rain is made and even created their own raindrops. They also had fun making colourful windsocks to see how the wind blows.
Spanish
This week we began learning Spanish! The children practised saying “hello” and greeting each other. It was wonderful to hear them trying out a new language with so much enthusiasm.
P.E.
In P.E. we worked on our balancing skills. The children enjoyed the challenge of balancing beanbags on their heads and different parts of their bodies – there was lots of laughter and concentration as they tried to stay steady!
It’s been such a busy and exciting week of learning. We are very proud of how hard the children are working and can’t wait to see what next week brings! 🌈✨
