Reception are working hard on their phonics. This week we looked at the sounds z, qu and ch. We have been learning about the planets and looking into space. The children have been making their own space shuttles with junk modelling and construction. We have had a focus on the number 5.
This week we continued our phonics looking at v, w, x and y. The children had a great time mixing colours with a focus on making green, orange, purple and then brown. We then looked at some leaves from our Sheen Common walk and painted some trees with some autumn coloured leaves. After this we changed to our new topic of space and started learning about the Sun and the Moon.
Reception have been doing some fantastic phonics work this week; we have looked at the digraphs ff, ll, ss and the phoneme j. On Tuesday, we went on our first Sheen Mount trip out of school to Sheen Common for our autumn walk. This was a great success and all the children and adults had fun. A big thank you to the parents who helped us on the trip. We continued exploring the pumpkins this week and the children have enjoyed making and tasting pumpkin soup.
This week in phonics we have covered the phonemes h, b, f and l. It was great to hear the fun things that had happened over the half-term holiday. The children have enjoyed ordering and weighing all of the pumpkins and vegetables that you kindly sent in, they liked looking at the difference in all of their sizes. Everyone enjoyed hammering golf tees into the pumpkins.
