Reception - WB 22.1.23

Date: 28th Jan 2024 @ 5:55pm

Hello everyone,

The children have enjoyed our curriculum focus this week, where we have been exploring toys from the past. We have been looking at toys that children used to play with in the past and compared them to the toys that children play with today. We explored different toys and games around the environment and compared the colour, function and the materials that these toys are made of. We enjoyed reading the story 'Naughty Bus' as part of our learning and spotted the different toys in the story.

Children have been working really hard during Ready Steady Read each morning and we are seeing such a difference in children's confidence when blending sounds to read words. Children are becoming much more pacy and can recall many set 1 sounds instantly. Thanks for your support with reading at home - it makes such a difference!

Each week, on a Monday afternoon, we do something called 'Circle Time'. This is time to sit in a circle, share our opinions and thoughts about certain topics and play some team games all together. This week we played the game 'don't spill the water', where children had to pass the water around the circle without spllling any, using only two cups. There was such team work from everyone.

On Tuesday we have our next parent workshop on personal development. Same format as last time - 8.30 til 9.00am.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs D
