October  2024 

Reception have started Maths Mastery sessions and been using some of the early mathematical concepts of classifying and sorting size patterns. They’ve been sorting muddles in the provision into colour groups and object groups and have been mastering this skill whilst learning the early routines of tidy up time and putting things back in the right place. Reception have also been busy recognising, describing and copying colour and size patterns. They’ve also been asked to extend colour and size patterns and spot errors in some too. They have been counting one, two and three objects reliably and recognising the numerals one, two and three too.

Fred Frog has also been visiting the children for daily phonics sessions where the children have been revisiting and learning the set 1 sounds and practising them on a whiteboard. They have been sent phonic sound worksheets home to be practised but these do not need to be returned to school.

The children have also been introduced to the concept of rolling snack and also house points which they're coping really well with. We've also been learning all about Autumn and the children have listened to the story 'Leaf Man' and the adventures he went on. They did some fantastic drawings of Leaf Man too. It's also Black History Month so we have been talking about how people should be treated fairly in society too, no matter what colour of skin they are.

We are all very proud of you Reception - it's been a busy month!

September 2024

Reception staff are so proud of how the children have settled in - in for full days now too! They are coping well with all the transitions and we are already beginning to get into a routine. Our first topic is 'All About Me'. We will be learning all about the children's interests, likes & dislikes, cultures and experiences. We will explore our individual identity, families and learning about our school values being part of the Eastlands community. We will also be looking at Penguins (our class name) with our focus key text 'Blue Penguin'!
Library day is Friday, your child will come home with a borrowed school library book, please bring it back into school the following Friday so your child can choose a new book. This will happen from the 13th September. Percy penguin will come home for the start of his adventures with somebody this Friday too! 
Reception PE days are Tuesday and Wednesday and we will be starting to get changed after October half term. Please ensure children have the correct named kit in school, PE kits will be sent home at the end of each half term to be washed.
