Welcome to Reception's Class Page!
Hello and welcome back to Reception. We have a very exciting Summer Term planned for our children with lots of fantastic events coming up! Please refer to our weekly Newsletters for information about our upcoming events such as our Whole School Day Trip Out, our celebration of 50 years of the Summer of Love and... Stay and Cook Sessions for you and your child! Yummy!
Our Learning Journey outlines what we will be focusing on this term. Please use this as a point of reference when discussing your child's learning with them at home. Summer promises to bring with it some beautiful weather but it is very important we stay safe- remember to allow your child to wear a sun hat such as a cap (with their name on the inside) to protect us from the sun's beams and stop us from getting headaches outdoors!

Reception love to observe the changes that occur all around us on a daily basis especially to the environment and animals. To help us develop in our understanding of this we enjoyed a visit from some unhatched eggs. We predicted what might be inside the eggs and we were delighted to find baby chicks once the eggs hatched! We were very gentle when we handled the chicks to make them feel safe!
Animals
We have been thinking about how to take care of animals. Therefore, we have been learning about the role of a vet and groomer. As a result, we have created our own Veterinary Surgery and The Groom Room. We have been taking on the role of a vet, groomer, receptionist and pet owner in our Veterinary Surgery and The Groom Room along with undertaking the responsibilities of these roles. We have also had lots of fun creating our own posters and writing bills which are displayed in our Veterinary Surgery and The Groom Room. Take a look below at some of our exciting learning that has been taking place!
We have recently enjoyed learning about 'The Three Little Pigs'. Using our Talk 4 Writing strategy, we created a story map and retold the story. Following this, we created our own story called 'The Three Little Sheep'. We have enjoyed building houses in the role of our animal characters, creating representations of our favourite characters using 2Paint, sequencing the story and writing sentences about the characters. We even received a letter of apology from the big, bad wolf!
