Reception
Welcome to Reception Class!
We are really looking forward to the Summer Term in Reception Class and can't wait to enjoy lots of exciting activities together. Our children have enjoyed two fantastic terms at school and we are really proud of how well they have settled into our St Stephen's family. As always, please let one of the Reception Team know if you have any questions at all- we are here to help.
Our new theme is 'Alive and Kicking' and we are really looking forward to exploring ways to keep our bodies healthy and safe.
This half term also provides a wonderful Literacy Focus for us. We will be looking at the story of 'Alice in Wonderland' and can't wait to enjoy lots of exciting activities together. Activities may include:
1) Creating healthy menus for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
2) Baking jam tarts and writing instructions.
3) Planting new flowers for the garden.
4) Subitising numbers using playing cards in Maths.
5) Comparing size/height in Maths.
6) Making our own magical potions.
7) Measuring time in lots of exciting ways.
8) Looking at the Cheshire Cat smiles and then exploring different faces to show various moods.
9) Nurturing our own caterpillars and watch as they turn into butterflies.
10) Making our own keys.
11) Celery printing roses.
12) Creating our own hats and crowns.
13) Writing invitations to a Tea Party.
14) Writing about Alice's Wonderland Dream.
These are just a few initial ideas for activities in class. We like to involve the children in their learning so they may change as their interests evolve.
Our Class Gallery is lovely to browse through and will be added to over the coming weeks. It provides a wonderful opportunity for you to discover what your child has been learning in Reception.
We hope that you enjoy browsing through our page and that it provides you with an insight into how each day is a wonderful journey of learning, exploration and fun!
