Welcome to Reception's Friday Blog!

Phonics

This week we learnt the sounds m, d and g. We discussed what sounds we can hear at the beginning of different words, like; mat, dog and goat.

We also learnt the game nice to meet you! See the photos here.

Drawing Club

This week in Drawing Club we read the Story of The Three Bill Goats Gruff.

We talked about the vocabulary "gruesome" and what it meant. Then we drew our own gruesome character.

Maths

We visited Numberland this week and were introduced to our second number - number 2! We built number 2’s garden and we found objects that are 'one and another one' to. Rosie Posie the Problem Pixie came and mixed our gardens up, but we remembered where everything needed to go. See the photos here.

RE

We  listened to the Creation Story again. This week we  focussed on the animals and the humans that God created.

We sorted animals that live in the sea and on the land and we talked about our families. See the photos here.

Expressive Art and Design

We printed with string this week, using the primary and secondary colours. See the photos here.

Understanding the World

This week we discussed the five senses. We  focussed on the senses of hearing and sight.

Physical Development

This week we continued with our dough disco and pen disco to help strengthen our hand muscles.

Forest School

We listened to a story about Firey Fox. It taught us how to be safe around a fire. We watched Mr Corbett light the fire and we watched and heard the popcorn pop!

We also had time for some super child-initiated play.

Also, we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who came to the Phonics Workshop - Please find our presentation here.
