Reception 2018 - 2019

Mrs Turner

Welcome to an exciting new term at Pott Shrigley School.

The new children have settled in well and we are working on the theme of 'Ourselves.' We have been exploring using our senses, looking at baby pictures, drawing around ourselves and labelling them. We have also been looking at Autumnal changes and thinking about harvest, please see the overview for the half term for further details.

We are all enjoying our lovely environment with free flow play on offer to an outside enclosed area. Where we can explore the mud kitchen, shop, playhouse, sensory tray, water tray, building blocks, physical activity box and small world. Inside we have a writing area, investigation area, reading area, maths area, raised table for construction/small world, easels, role play, computer/whiteboard and table area for games etc. Resources also move across the areas!

From week beginning 1st October we are starting phase two phonics and introducing a letter sound a day.

We have introduced tapestry online journal, this enables parents to see what we have been doing in class as well as add their own posts from home.

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

Mrs. Joanna Turner (Class teacher) and Mrs. Mandy Novacki (Teaching assistant)
