Reception 2018 - 2019

Mrs Turner

Happy New Year to everyone and best wishes for 2019.

We had an exciting first term in Reception as we worked on topics of Ourselves and Celebrations. We enjoyed a trip to Bollington Library on the school minibus as well as the whole school trip to Buxton for the Panto. We have been working hard with our early literacy skills and phonics, numeracy work and enjoying all areas of the curriculum inside and outside!

This term we are looking at Traditional and Classic stories and using these for cross curriculum teaching, to include making houses for the three little pigs, using different materials, porridge for Goldilocks and the Three Bears and bread for the Little Red Hen. We also encourage the children to explore their own ideas and develop their characteristics of learning through exploration, critical thinking and active learning. (Please see the plan for more details).

We have been busy watching the builders landscape and then start to develop a new outdoor play area with lots of physical activities for us on the trim trail, next to our classroom! We have had our builders hats on making our own creations with the bricks, whilst we await the chance to explore the new equipment!

If you require any further information, don't hesitate to contact us.
