Class of 2031 (Rec)

Christmas preparation is in full swing in Reception.  We are slowly working our way through costumes for our Nativity play.  Watch out for any lines in book bags this week.

Some new wigs and glasses have refreshed our dressing up basket this week!

The children and staff were all excited to take part in Odd Sock Day!  We are kind to each other every day in Reception, and have talked about the importance of this.

This week in Reception we have been using our ‘maths eyes’ to look at small groups of objects and say, without counting, how many there are! The children have loved playing games to subitse.

The children have loved hunting for bugs in the garden this week.  After reading poems about mini-beasts we all searched the garden for their secret hiding places to see what we could find.  Harry was especially keen and helped lots of the children on their search. ‘I know all the good hiding…

This week we have investigated patterns in class.  The children loved making their own simple patterns using our every day resources.  

Today we celebrated some achievements in Reception.  For swimming, gymnastics and football skills.  What a talented bunch!
