What are we learning in Reception?

Welcome to life in Reception

It is Spring 1 and the children have learnt an interesting topic about transport. They have settled confidently into school life and have developed new routines. This half-term they have explored seasonal changes, celebrated key events and taken part in many other learning experiences.

Literacy

Naughty Bus

The first book we read was called Naughty bus. This story helped the children develop reading comprehension and creative storytelling. The children also explored character traits relating to real life experiences. They also took part in role-plays, created their own creations of vehicles and wrote their own stories.

We continue to develop our phonics skills and practise writing words to build confidence and accuracy in reading and spelling.

Maths

In Maths, children learn about comparing numbers within 10. The children use role-play and first, then, now story structures to explore more and less. Children learn to recognise and count up to 10. The children count by breaking down the number and learning about the number 10 by counting how many altogether.

Art

Time to show our creativity with our beautiful artwork. With whatever next in our topic book, it is only right to demonstrate our pieces of art by showing our pictures of vehicles using drawings, shapes and painting a rocket.

PSHE

This term in PSHE we have been looking at Dreams and Goals through the Jigsaw PSHE scheme. We learnt that everyone is unique and special in their own way, and discussed how to be kind, respectful, and inclusive. Inclusivity is one of Mission Grove's vision.

Reception classes visited the Transport Museum to explore all the features of vehicles.
