Welcome to Reception!
Reception is taught by Miss Jagota
The weeks are flying by and the Easter break is soon approaching with another fun-packed week in Reception! This week’s highlight was without a doubt our trip to Manchester airport (see Twitter for photos). The children had been looking forward to this all week, having learnt about the features of an airport and looking at different types of planes. βοΈThey were brilliant yesterday, enthusiastic about everything, I was so proud of them all. They confidently answered questions on the tour, dressed up and took on different roles and jobs at the airport π¨βοΈ, explored the flight deck and even had the chance to stand in the belly of the plane next to the wheels! π« We managed to see a whole host of different types of transport on the runway; from diggers, trucks, helicopters and of course planes including watching the huge A380 land and take off! We even saw fire engines speed in to action with a diverted plane making an emergency landing! I’m sure they have told you all about their day!
Thank you to Jacob's dad, who was our 'secret visitor' on Wednesday, telling the children all about his job of getting food on the planes at the airport- He even brought some aeroplane chocolate for everyone! π«
We also held the class semi-final of the poetry recital competition based on the theme ‘School’. Well done to all the children that entered, I’m very proud of every one that took the time to write or learn a poem and more importantly perform it! The children tried their best to recite the poems to the rest of the class. Congratulations Ted and Theo who have been chosen to move on to the whole school final on Wednesday at 9.10am. Parents of class finalists are invited to the final.
In English this week, we have continued to practise writing sentences and lists, looking at the features of an airport. Our new phonics sounds use the same spelling pattern- ‘oo’ (poo at the zoo) and ‘oo’ (look at a book). We also learnt ‘ow’ (blow the snow). Homework this week, focuses on reading books and key words (reading and writing these).
In maths, we have been learning about numbers to 10 with a look at how we can make 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Next week:
PE Kits: Tuesday and Friday
