The Jolly Postman and Teddy's birthday

 Hi Reception Families,

What a busy week we had!

This week in Understanding the World we have begun our focus on People Who Help us. We've been learning all about the Jolly Postman. We wrote postcards to our Year Four Buddies, and made a house for the Jolly Postman to live in as part of our Play Project.









In maths this week we've been practising our counting to five, we introduced five frames to help us count accurately.  It was Teddy's 5th Birthday, we had to help him fill his party bags with five things, and the challenge was to only put five things in the bag so Teddy had room for his birthday cake!




In Expressive Art and Design we started to explore mixing primary colours to make secondary colours and decorated a birthday cake for Ted.




We have continued to focus on supporting children into school life at The Prince of Wales. This transition period is an important time to support children in learning how to access the learning areas and follow key routines.

In Drawing Club we used Wacky Races to draw some excellent petrol stations, vehicles and driving teams.


Turning our attention to next week:

The Baseline Assessments are continuing.

Understanding the World: People who help us.

Drawing Club: Room on the Broom. 

DT: Creating Pumpkin Soup.


PE: Please can children come to school dressed for PE on Fridays.

Reading Records: Reading Records should be brought into school on Fridays. At this stage in Reception, please write down a few books you have shared with your child during the week. As time goes on children will bring home a reading book related to their RWI learning. 


If there is anything you would like to discuss please email me or catch me on the door.

Ms Evans and the Reception Team.
