Autumn 2024

Reception class enjoyed walking around to Kenton Library and listening to a story read from Leah the librarian.  We looked at the books and chose some to bring back to school.  The children couldn't believe it when Leah told them that if they came to the library with their parents then they would be able to borrow up to 10 books and it wouldn't cost anything!
We love it when our Yr 6 Buddies come down to the Reception class to play with us.'
 

We loved retelling the story of ‘Farmer Duck’ in the Butterfly Garden.  We felt sorry for the poor duck who had to do all the work and we were pleased when the animals chased the lazy farmer away.

Reception have enjoyed counting sets of objects from our 'Counting Collections' boxes. We estimated how many were in the box, counted the amount then drew the corresponding number of objects on our wipeboards.   
 
Reception love learning new phonic sounds and enjoy writing the corresponding letters on their wipeboards.  They had fun going on a letter hunt in the Butterfly Garden.
In Reception, we have been learning each others names and thinking about what we all look like.  We have painted pictures of ourselves, drawn outlines of our bodies with chalks and made ourselves with the playdough. 
We have had a great few days in Reception class, making new friends and exploring all of the toys.
