A busy first week in Reception.

Our first full week and haven't they done well?

Although there were many tired faces today, we still enjoyed lots of outside learning including music, art and everyone rode the balance bikes today too!

Well done to Otis, Henry C, Rufus, Isaac and Asimina who were praised in assembly today as well as all the children who had reached 10 tokens this week. We have also been amazed by all the WOW moments that have come in, Mr. Spracklen has really enjoyed celebrating them too!

We have displayed all the superb Time to Talks from last week and a new one has come home today. We looked at it in class today in order to spark some thoughts! Have fun!

Yesterday we learnt the sound "d". Teeth nearly together and touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth just behind the top front teeth, then drop the tongue as you make the sound. It is a bouncy sound. The picture to go with the sound is a dinosaur. As we write it we say " round his tummy, up his talk neck and down to his tail."

Today we learnt the sound "t". The mouth shape is the same for "d" but don't drop your tongue and there is no voice, simply force air over the top of the tip of the tongue. The picture to go with the sound is a tower. As we write it we say "down the tower, across the tower."

Our farm trip is the morning of Tuesday 25th September. We will be walking to the farm providing it is not raining, when the trip would be postponed and we would make the decision that morning. If any of you would like to volunteer to join us for the morning that would be wonderful, just let one of the team know next week. Children will need to wear warm, old play clothes that can get dirty (trousers or leggings), wellies and a warm coat. We will take fruit snack from school, so no snack will be need to be sent in that day.

Just to clarify, everyone will participate in forest schools every Wednesday.

Have a lovely week-end and well done Reception, you should be very proud of yourselves!
