Busy Week

Hello families!

What an incredibly busy week we have had in Reception! The children have coped really well with the changes and are enjoying exploring the classroom to find out where things are and how to use them. 

They have shown great respect for the toys and resources following Mr Spracklen’s assembly this week too.

The school day itself hasn’t changed and the children have been busy learning in their usual way.

Highlights of the week have been:

- Learning about doubles in maths and practicing in their own learning time

- Using the pipettes in the water tray (excellent use of fine motor skills)

- Some seriously good building and decorating of sandcastles using the buckets and spades (thank you for the loan Pre- School)

- Making some crazy looking mini beasts in the play dough (while discussing all the parts a mini beast has)

- Not just building in the Lego but becoming designers too

- Showing off our handwriting and letter formation skills

- Painting symmetrical butterflies (and looking for doubles)

- Playing with the mini beasts, making them homes and discussing what they are

- Playing with the mini beasts, making them homes and discussing what they are.

Don’t forget you can still return decorated bunting ready for our jubilee celebrations next week. 

Remember to wear something red, white and/or blue to school on Friday and bring your specially packed royal lunch too.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mrs March and the Reception Team
