Another Busy Week in Reception

Hi Reception Families,

It's been another busy week here in Reception. 

This week in DT we have been exploring all about fruits, vegetables and in particular pumpkins, this is part of a two week focus on making Pumpkin Soup. Next week we will complete our learning by making pumpkin soup.








We had a wonderful time in Drawing Club this week exploring Room on the Broom, I wonder if the children can remember the sign for Dragon and Witch? We made a potion today to project the Witch from the Dragon. We practised our counting to five too!







We had a fabulous time with Coach Luca this afternoon practicing our ball skills. 

This week in RWI we learnt the sounds: u, b,f,e,l a video of the correct pronunciation can be found here:




Turning Our Attention to Next Week:


Drawing Club: A Squash and a Squeeze.

Understanding the World: Farming and Harvest

DT: Making pumpkin Soup. 


On Thursday 5th October we will be visiting Maiden Castle Farm as part of our learning about farming and harvest and we will meet Farmer Hazel.

As this is some children's first visit to the farm, we would request that you bring them to the farm instead of to school on Thursday Morning 

We will be at the farm from 8:45, but the trip won't commence until after 9:00 to enable parents who need to drop a sibling at school first.  We will then walk back to school after our visit.  A letter with full details on how to access Maiden Castle Farm will be sent out on Monday. If it is not possible to bring your child to the farm on Thursday morning please let us know by Tuesday morning.  Children will need appropriate footwear such as walking boots or wellies and a suitable coat. 

We will arrange transport to take children's school bags back to school. Please see the letter on Monday for full details of the trip.

On Friday morning we have our  POW Family Harvest, the children have been practising a special song to perform to you! Please see details below.



Please do get in touch if there is anything we can help with.

Ms Evans and the Reception Team.
