Wow, what a busy time Reception have had. We have been looking at the Emergency Services and how they help us. The children have been full emersed and are ready to join when they are older! We have been using the story Three Billy Goats in Drawing Club and the children have loved creating bridges, recreating the story and writing sentences about the story. We have also been measuring our hands and feet. A fabulous couple of weeks!
A very busy Spring 1 RE day at Hebburn Lakes!
We had some very special visitors this afternoon! Our Learning means The World theme this week was ‘Police, fire, ambulance!’ Some very kind police officers came to chat to the children. They told them about all their job and let everyone have a turn in the car, try on some of their uniform and of course have a turn of the lights and siren! We had a fabulous afternoon.
We have had a perfect pirate week in Reception! Lots of pirate creations such as hats, maps, ships and so much more. Amazing combining of groups, reading, building and spelling words and reading our everyday words. Our sentence writing is developing as well as our independence ☠️⚓️⭐️❤️
Another fabulous week! So much maths work going on.. number bonds, capacity and so much more. Help is at hand was shining, helping each other, keeping everything tidy and showing their fabulous skills at home lots of independent phonics, reading and building words, fabulous team work and being a great friend!
Yesterday Reception showed the adults how our Sounds Write skills are developing. We showed them a couple of our phonics lessons, wrote a sentence and read some of our every day words. Then we showed them how we read our books and talk about the story. After that we showed them Drawing Club and how it helps us with our oracy, drawing skills, imagination, maths and writing, also how we learn amazing new vocabulary. It was a fabulous morning and the adults were blown away at how much Reception have progressed!
A very busy week in Reception. We have continued our theme ‘Ticket to Ride’. The children have been on imaginary train journeys telling us where they would go and what they might do when they get there. Played ‘stop and go’ where they have to safely drive and manoeuvre between their friends and stop/go when the sign is flashed. Built so many different types of transportation, one of our Drawing Club words, we will show you next week in our workshop! Drawn and painted various types of transport and used our Sounds Write skills to build words and write captions. ✈️❤️⭐️
We had an assembly with Reverend Ian from St John’s church. Today he talked to the children about break time. He recalled a story from the New Testament regarding the day of Sabbath. He talked about how the day of Sabbath is a day of rest, time to recharge and how beneficial it is. He then discussed whether we should also do jobs, relating it to Jesus helping people on the Sabbath day. We talked about Jesus healing people and helping others. How we could also help people during our breaks? The children came up with some fabulous ideas of how we can help each other during our breaks. Suggestions such as helping people who are lonely by playing with them, if someone is hurt then make sure they are ok or get them some help, let people join in with games or agree to play a few different games so everyone gets to choose their own ideas. We then had a school prayer and sang a song.
A fabulous first week back in Reception! Our new theme is ‘Ticket to Ride’ and we have been learning about different reasons why we would use a ticket. We’ve looked at lots of the different tickets children have brought in, designed our own and even had a hunt for golden tickets! We’ve drawn and built transport, used our maths skills and so much more! ⭐️❤️
