The last week of term
We cannot believe that we have reached the final week of your Reception year. Miss Turnbull and I have missed you all so much since school closed in March. We are so proud of how you have all been engaging in your home activities and sharing the photographs with us on Tapestry. We have been telling the year one staff how amazing you all are, if not a little bit cheeky sometimes!
We are so disappointed that we did not get to spend the whole year with you and the rest of the Reception children but we know that you will continue with your outstanding journey at Brighton Avenue Primary School.
After every storm there is a rainbow
We are so proud we were your teachers,
we watched you learn and grow.
We worked so hard and had such fun,
where did that time go?
Our year was interrupted,
and it seems too soon to part.
Just know that you will always have
a special place within our hearts!
With love,
Mrs Franklin, Miss Turnbull and Mrs Kneeling

Keep safe and continue smiling! All our love, The Reception Team x

Wow so here we have Maizee celebrating VE Day with her family and a busy few days from Magnus. He has been exploring in the woods and on a lovely peaceful beach, painting pictures of his experiences, adopting a family of snails and a stray cat- even building it a home in their garden. He shares with us some of his current favourite stories and has been making potions in their mud kitchen.
Oscar has been making a spiderman mask and building a den in his bedroom. Leonard has been creative with a robot, using his magnetic letters to blend, and enjoying some exercise in the garden.
This week so far..I am enjoying the view of the blossom while I speak to you all on the telephone and Lyla is out for a safe walk with her family. Leonard has been using his magnetic letters to sound out some green words.
Week 8 - Home School Learning Activities.
Well done Reception F, you continue to stay busy and learning. Lyla has been creative (with a little help from her mum), Jessica and Emily have been looking at 'ow blow the snow' and 'ow brown cow' and using these phonic sounds to write some word lists. Jessica was also reading and using both her knowledge of the text and her phonetic skills.
Week 7 - Home School Learning (4th May)
A busy couple of days with Reception F children. Jessica and Emily have shown us how tall their sunflowers are growing so have now decided to grow beans too. I am looking forward to seeing what happens with the ones that you planted upside down. Hooria has been doing some beautiful writing about last weeks story of Rapunzel. How neat are your letters Hooria? Magnus has been creative, again, he has been painting, story telling with his home made theatre and den building followed by some bug hunting, bicycle repairing and relaxing yoga. I set Maizee a challenge last week to try something new and today she has tried strawberries. Well done everyone, you make me so proud every day!

Leonard has been writing some green words and painting a dinosaur called Rex! Noah made a rocket sun catcher to go with the story 'Man on the Moon''. Jessica and Emily have been reading a-e make a cake words and have had fun exploring with shapes, they made shape patterns and tessellations.
Well, Miss Turnbull and I always thought that we had the most amazing children and your home learning is showing us that we definitely do. Let's take a look at your recent activities....Magnus found out how make circles using a compass, and has been reading some fairy stories. Oscar was reading some green and red words and moving like different animals. Jessica and Emily have been counting in 10s to 100 and also invented some cheesy dance moves. They have been riding their bikes without stabilisers- but most importantly with their helmets! Noah has been playing a maths game to sharpen his addition and subtraction skills, he made a boat and tested it to see if it floated and has also been riding his bike two wheeled! Leonard has been doing some RWinc sounds, finding 3D shapes around the house and made the most fantastic flag with family crests. Maizee made an egg creation reflection our amazing NHS. Alex and his brother Leo have been exploring in the park, making tree pictures, writing stories and illustrating them and planting some seeds. Phew, I am exhausted just writing this. Keep up the good work Reception. We miss you all, but spending today ringing and chatting to you at home has certainly cheered us up.
Week 5 - Home School Learning Activities
Some more activities from the children in our class. Rio has been outside playing with his dog, Karim has been painting his dough creations and writing his green words- well done Karim. Look how tall his plant has grown since school closed, wow! Oscar I love your creative side.
Wednesday made me smile......Oscar made cakes and was being creative in a cardboard box. Maizee decided to do some literacy activities from her pack, at first she looks happy enough but then shows us her grumpy face too! Mum assures me that she really was happy to do some work at home.
A busy Tuesday during Easter: Magnus has been building an obstacle course at the allotment, making a snake, building a symmetrical construction and working on his tens and ones counting skills. Mia decided that she would use her collage resources to build a castle where she can keep everyone safe. Leonard has been building with his lego- look how tall his tower is, he also made an Easter bonnet. Maizee has made a fantastic salt dough piece with hand prints, made a rainbow for her window and some Easter cards. Lyla has had a splashing time in the sunshine today! How busy you have all been.

Please don't forget to keep sharing these with us, sending in your photographs and adding them to Tapestry - we love seeing what you're getting up to. We miss you more and more everyday! Stay safe everyone x
Lyla has shared some photographs with us today she has been writing some super sentences and counting in 2's well done Lyla.
This made me both happy and sad today.... Alex and Leo made a card for all of the staff in Reception to say thank you and we miss you. How lovely boys, we miss you too. Hopefully we will see you all very soon.
It looks like you have all been busy again. Alex, with his brother Leo, has been using the playdough, cooking, drawing, doing some work from his pack and reading his reading book. Magnus has been working on his shape knowledge, making punctuation with his play dough and created an egg calendar to help him count the days until Easter.
What a wonderful, working Wednesday you have had! Leonard shared his drawing of his lunch today- can you guess what he had to eat? Mia says that she is missing her friends. Oscar has been playing naughts and crosses with his sister and washing his toys- good idea to keep them germ free. Jessica and Emily have been practicing their maths skills, counting in multiples of 2,5 and 10. Oscar counted that it is 12 days until the Easter bunny arrives. I had a delivery today from the postman- Daisy loves to help open boxes! Miss Turnbull says that she is missing having a class of children to teach so decided to let her dog Rosie join in with home learning today.
Hello everyone, I have just been looking at our new uploads to Tapestry and thought that I would share some pictures of your busy day. Jessica, alongside her sister Emily, has been writing sentences from her pack, counting in 5's and has been on a measuring treasure hunt! Magnus has been creative with their sewing basket and pasta. Leonard was using his whiteboard to write his sounds and has been discussing properties of 2D shape. I have had two changes of job today; I have been a hairdresser cutting Daniel's hair and a decorator because I decided to paint the conservatory..... well start it. Daisy has spent most of her day sleeping on the sofa!
It's week two now of home learning, Miss Turnbull, Mrs Kneeling and I are missing seeing you every day but It is important that we all do as we are asked and stay safe at home, away from the germs. Some people have been sharing with me their home learning, it makes me very happy to see the fun activities that you are doing at home. Keep sending your photographs in and adding them to your Tapestry page. See you soon, Mrs Franklin.
