Wow what an exciting few weeks we have had in Reception! Have a read of the newsletter to find out what we have been learning.

Here is the link to the RWI phonics website where you will find a useful audio guide of how to say each sound. https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/learn-to-read-phonics/

In Reception this half term we have been exploring traditional tales. The children have really enjoyed learning about The Three Little Pigs this week after finding sticks and straw in a taped off area of the playground. Miss Compton’s class even found wolf footprints heading towards their classroom door! The children have enjoyed creating pig masks to help with learning and retelling the story.

Find out what we have been learning in class this week and try some of the fun activities at home.

The children in Reception have been busy innovating the popular story ‘we’re going on a bear hunt’ this week. We experimented with changing the settings to new ones, thinking of ways to describe them. Some children decided to keep the original settings and change the character that they were hunting for, from dragons, to tigers to snails! The children had a go at recording the journeys within their stories on story maps.
