Children took on different roles: from firefighters to doctors, police officers to teachers. A range of imaginative activities were set to spark discussion about helpful people in our community.

Every week we have physical education lessons. During these lessons we are active and interactive so that we can develop good problem solving skills, co-ordination, control and movement.

Our Outdoor Adventure

Last term we read an imaginative birthday story called ‘ Billy’s Bucket’. We used talk for writing to retell the story ; we wrote party shopping lists ; birthday wish lists; we described the buckets, we labelled sea life creatures and we wrote about the parts of the story that we liked. We then transformed our reading library into an ocean and we made sea in a bottle, party hats and birthday cards. Finally Billy arrived in our classroom and we threw him  a big  birthday party .  It was a blast !

In numeracy we had fun learning about 2D and 3D shapes and we can now name simple 2D shapes such as square, triangle, circle and rectangle. We are also able to write number stories, create simple patterns and find doubles.  

This year the children have worked very heard to read and write simple sentences.

The Reception class was entertained by a magician who showed them  some brilliant magic tricks.
