Autumn 1

Week 1

All the children have settled into Reception so well! We have been having lots of fun exploring the classroom and the Reception garden area. We loved the sandpit, the mud kitchen, pouring and measuring in the water tray, and creating in construction corner. 

We have been making our fingers strong and ready for writing by peeling stickers onto the patterns and using tweezers to match the colours. 

We started phonics this week with Fred the frog! We loved playing Fred games - 'c-a-t ... cat'. The sounds we have learnt this week are m, a, s, d, t. 

We have also started to recognise our names. We found the first letter in our name and coloured it in. Then we enjoyed writing the first letter with rainbow pencils.
