Welcome to our Reception classes – Cygnets and Ducklings!

The children have made a fantastic start to their school journey, settling in well and quickly picking up class rules and routines. They have already formed positive friendships with both their peers and teachers, creating a happy and supportive learning environment. We have really enjoyed spending time sharing the children's all about me boxes and thank you all for your hard work on them. We are so proud of how enthusiastic and engaged the children have been in their learning so far!

English

We have begun our Read Write Inc. phonics journey, and the children are working hard on 'Fred Talking' – blending sounds to read simple words. They are also applying their sounds to writing words. We are working hard on fine motor skills using 'pinchy' fingers to ensure we can hold our pencil in a tripod grip. 

Maths

In Maths, we’ve been exploring numbers to 10, focusing on reading, writing, ordering, and counting. We will continue across the half term to deepen our understanding of these numbers.
