Welcome to our class

Our learning is cross curricular and is linked to our termly topic.
Our topic for the Summer Term is...  

 Wonderful Water

During the term we will be finding out about different uses of water.  We will look at different watery habitats and the different animals that live there.  We will use stories such as Commotion in the Ocean, Tiddler, the Story Telling Fish, The Snail and the Whale, Sally and the Limpet and a range of non-fiction texts to support our learning.  Our role play area will be an under water cave and there will be opportunities for using money in the Seaside Shop. 

As well as our class PE lesson, we will have a weekly PE session with Mr Coleman (an outside PE specialist) where we will be learning how to use the gymnastic apparatus safely and how to undress and dress ourselves independently.  

"We like exploring and playing in our outside classroom."

"We have a 'buddy' friend in Year 6. Our buddies help us settle into school when we first start. They play with us at playtimes and dinnertimes and sit with us in assemblies.  It is really nice having an older friend (buddy) in school to help and support us."

Work at home: All children will be expected to read each night for at least 5-10 minutes (word cards and or reading book). Parents to write a brief note in the reading diary.

"We have our own designated Outdoor Learning space, where we like to have fun and explore the great outdoors"

We have lots of fun in Reception!

We had a 'beary' busy and exciting time when we learnt about different types of bears, where they come from and what they like to eat.  We looked closely at famous bears like Paddington Bear and in our role play we retold the traditional story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We had lots of fun making porridge, marmalade sandwiches, bear toast and bear biscuits! The best bit was when we got to eat everything!!
