Date: 12th Jan 2024 @ 12:48pm

We have had a great start to the New Year, in Reception.

Phonics

This week we have been recapping our sounds from Autumn Term and we have learned the j,v and w sounds.

Maths

We have been counting out different amounts from 0-10, we then sorted these amounts into more and less.

Drawing Club

This week, we read the story; Charlie Cook's Favourite Book.

We created our own characters and used our imaginations to create adventures for them. We had a go at using our sounds to write words.

R.E.

We learned all about the Three Kings who visited Jesus after he was born. We learned their names, the gifts they brought and how long it took them to travel to Bethlehem. We read The Glory Be prayer together.

Understanding the World

We have been learning all about space and what it is. We learned about the size difference between the sun, earth and the moon.

We started our new topic, all about China. We looked at a globe to see where China is and looked at a map to see what is in China.

Expressive Arts and Design

 In music, with Mrs Winter, we have been learning about beat and rhythm.

In PE we focussed on our under arm throwing and balancing, using different parts of our bodies.

Forest School

We learned all about fire safety and collected dry materials to make a fire.  We then boiled water in the Kelly Kettle to make a delicious hot chocolate drink.
