Reception morning showing our adults Reception’s amazing emerging reading, writing and fabulous vocabulary!

22nd January 2025K Richardson

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!

Another great week in Reception!

17th January 2025K Richardson

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. ✈️❤️⭐️

 

 

 

A great first week back in Reception!

10th January 2025K Richardson

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! ⭐️❤️

RE Day in Reception

10th December 2024K Richardson

Today we talked about the Christmas story. We asked who knew the characters, who they were and which character was the most important in the story of Christmas . We discussed  which parts the children in Reception are playing in our performance and how Christians often recreate the story in their church at Christmas. Some of the children then recreated the story and built a stable and others decided to paint the nativity scene.

 

Journalists of the future!

9th December 2024L Chisholm

In 2 blue this week we have been using computers and texts to research our favourite hero from our theme ‘Zero To Hero’. We wrote down all of the information we thought was important.  We then went to the computer suite where we were shown how to use ‘Word’ to produce our writing.  We were then taught how to change the size, type and colour of the font and how to search for, and insert a picture of our hero.  We really enjoyed using these skills to make our work more interesting.
