Reception - reminders and learning!

A few reminders: Thursday = dress like a farmer day (if you want to)
Friday = Harvest assembly 9:15 in the school hall. You will be able to buy the bakes that each class have been busy making. Harvest donations will be greatly received. Friday evening = POWSA Autumn Fest (see the office for tickets)

If you have any evidence to support achieving a stamp in the POW Passport, please bring it in.

The WOWs are coming in thick and fast and are wonderful - well done!

We have also thoroughly enjoyed reading your Time to Talk Home Learning - very imaginative! Equally, we have been so impressed at your RWInc Home Learning - incredible effort and enthusiasm - keep it up!!!!

Today Pre-School joined us for an afternoon of Harvest themed activities - the children were engaged in bread tasting, leaf rubbing, harvesting vegetables, conker rolling, making snails, role playing Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

The story we are focussing on this week is Goldilocks if you would like to read it at home too. This builds fluency, familiarity, expression, repetition.

Nursery rhymes we are currently singing are: Old Macdonald had a Farm, Incy Wincy Spider, Little Green Frog, Dingle Dangle Scarecrow, Pat-a-Cake Pat-a-Cake, One, Two, Three Four Five Once I caught a Fish Alive. Try singing these at home.

Our sound today is "f", this is a stretchy sound. Press your top teeth on to your bottom lip and then try to force air out - NO VOICE. The picture that goes with the sound is "flower".

We focussed on the magic number 3 in the Goldilocks story and  worked out there were 6 lots of 3 (bears, bowls, spoons, cups, chairs, blankets) counting to 18 and estimating as we kept adding the next three.
