Reception F

Welcome to Reception, for some children the beginning of their schooling. We understand that this can be an exciting but nerve wracking time for both children and parents. Through this stage of their learning journey, the children will be learning through a balance of child-initiated play, carefully supported by knowledgeable staff and adult-initiated small group activities. They will be busy exploring and discovering exciting activities, both in and out of the classroom, including visits and visitors.

This website, Weduc and Tapestry, will keep you updated on all aspects of your child’s learning.

 

Settling in to our new classroom and getting to know our new staff and friends. What a busy time we have had exploring in Reception.

We have continued to access the Reception environment both inside Andy outside. In small group we have learned how to play in the home corner and cut and stick areas. We have been looking at matching and sorting in maths activities and in RWINC we are listening to sounds in words, playing Fred frog games and beginning to mark make.

We have been settling in to more activities in our daily routine. In maths we have looked at measuring and in RWINC we are learning our set one sounds and are listening to initial sounds and Fred talk. In small group we looked at different types of houses and talked about who lives in our house. Wendy the nurse came to visit us too!

We enjoyed some harvest activities in Reception. We sang and signed big red combine harvester for our families.

We celebrated Remembrance Day by making poppies for our windows and we made poppy biscuits to take home. In small group we looked at a firework painting called the fallen rocket by James Whistler, then made our own inspired version of the painting. Mel from NUSTEM brought a robot in for us to code. We also celebrated Children in Need day with pudsey. We went down to forest school for a muddy monsters session and had great fun, if not a little muddy!

What a fantastic way to end Autumn term! The children performed in their nativity production and they were all absolutely amazing, they made us very proud like they always do! We enjoyed lots of fun end of term activities and made lots of memories together. We can't wait to see what 2026 holds for Reception F - see you next year! 1 / 15
