  • Number 3

    Published 22/10/21

    We have had another fantastic week in Reception. Phonics has been going well and this week we looked at ck, e, u and r. 

    In maths we have been learning about the number 3 and the children have been working out all of the different ways to show it. They have had a great time looking for 3 in the environment as well, finding it in lots of different places. We carried the theme of 3 into our PE and each activity was linked to it.

    The children have been brilliant this half-term and have settled in well. We hope you all have a lovely half-term.

    In phonics this week we have covered the phonemes p,i,n,m and d the children have been doing a great job with this. We had our first indoor PE session which went very well, all of the children listened brilliant and took part in the activities. The children have been working on putting on their own coats and doing up the zips. This is helping them to become more independent, as they can do this themselves when going out for playtime.

  • Phonics, patterns and Christmas pictures

    Published 01/10/21

    We have had a brilliant week in Reception. The children have started to learn the first phonemes starting with s, a and t. They have enjoyed thinking of all the different things that begin with those sounds. In maths, we have been looking at shapes and patterns, we have all enjoyed making our own repeated patterns.  Although it may seem slightly early we have been making the Cauliflower groups Christmas picture cards and the children have been doing a great job with these. These will be coming home for you to look at next week. All of the children looked very smart for their first Sheen Mount School photograph.
