Welcome to Reception Class!
Welcome back to Reception class! It's time for fun, learning, and new adventures, focusing on familiar routines, settling nerves with a cozy space, and preparing for activities like indoor/outdoor PE, phonics, and teamwork games. Our new topic is 'COLD'! We will be learning all about what the cold means to us! We will be exploring different version of cold, including cold colours in art, cold regions of the Earth (the Arctic and Antarctic) and finding out about animals that live in the polar regions.
Our new PE days are, indoor PE Monday afternoon and outdoor PE Thursday afternoon. Please make sure your child has the correct PE kit on the right days.
We will continue with the class library on Wednesday and you will receive your reading books each evening. Please try to read every day, little and often is the key to success.
Your child will have phonic games coming home once a week and they will have a new phonic book, please return this on a Monday morning.
I will continue to post lots of things on Tapestry so don't forget to check it out!
Our trips this half term will be the showtime museum in Blackpool and Stanley Park.
We are looking forward to another fun filled half term

POLICE VISITORS (9.2.26)
Our visitors - police officer as we keep getting visited by the number taker!!!
STANLEY PARK (9.2.26)
Today we went to Stanley Park for our Winter walk. We compared the park and the trees to last time we visited. We talked about how the trees had changed, how there were no flowers and hardly any grass, we squished in the mud and discussed the change in weather conditions. Our new words were: Deciduous (a tree that loses its leaves in Autumn) and ‘evergreen’ (a tree that keeps its leaves all year long) We enjoyed hot chocolate as our snack and we talked about how the hot chocolate made our body feel on this cold winters day.
NSPCC NUMBER DAY (6.2.26)
We have had a lovely afternoon celebrating maths in all its forms. We decorated Number biscuits, played track games, made number block pictures, subitise, learnt about 3D shapes, painted caterpillars and did lots of counting and matching of numbers. A big thank you to all those families who supported the event. The children loved sharing their classroom and how much they have learnt with you.
SHOWTOWN MUSEUM (4.2.26)
Reception had a great time at Showtime museum in Blackpool. We looked round each gallery and even got to turn on the illuminations and design our own. We had a lesson in the school room and learnt all about the seaside today and long ago. We made our own postcards and even posted them to our family. We loved the Punch and Judy theatre and dressing up as circus performers.
