We have had a wonderful couple of weeks in Reception! We have been learning our first phonic sounds with a new sound every day. For our topic 'All About Me' we have been drawing pictures of ourselves and our families. The children used their beautiful collages (made at home) to talk to their class all about themselves and their families. We have been so impressed with how confidently the children have been speaking in front of their new classes.

The children loved working in groups to complete funky finger activities. These activities help them to develop their fine motor skills and include; threading cheerios, threading beads on pipe cleaners, making paper clip chains and joining paper friendship chains. We have also been making 'friendship' recipes. The children were able to think of lovely ideas about what makes a good friend. They have been enjoying our outside space during playtimes and have been busy making new friends.
