What are we learning about? Overviews for parents
In Reception our class teacher is Miss. Gregory. Mrs. Rigby and Miss. Naylor are our learning assistants.
We like to play and learn at the same time, so our classroom never lacks fun and excitement!
We do PE on Wednesdays with Mrs. Vose, and Mrs. Hurst teaches us RE on a Thursday morning.
Children will take part in daily phonics lessons (LittleWandle), Literacy lessons, Reading practice sessions, Maths and our favourite time of day… Story Time!
We also enjoy our other topics that include developing skills in History, Art, Computing, Science and Geography.

Letters to Santa
As part of the Royal Mail letters to Santa scheme the children have written their Christmas list’s as part of our Literacy this week. They went to the postbox this morning to post them. We found footprints from the cheeky elves, who had been playing in the post box, and were waiting to deliver the letters to Father Christmas.
Christmas Party Day🎅🏼🎄
The children have really enjoyed their Christmas party day. We’ve sung songs, played games and danced all day long.

The children learnt about why we celebrate Pancake day and that it’s original name is Shrove Tuesday, which is the last day before lent. The people ate pancakes as it was the ingredients that would go off before Easter. The children learnt about how pancake day is celebrated across the U.K. Reception enjoyed tasting the pancakes and describing the texture and taste.
The children were working on their ball skills in P.E today. There was a focus on precision, accuracy, coordination and balance.
We had a special visit from ‘History alive’ the children enjoyed learning about toys from the past and the stories behind them. The children dressed like children from 100 years ago and played with the toys like they would have all those years ago.
