We have had a super second week in Reception. On Monday, the boys went to their first music lesson. The boys were singing name songs and learnt some Harvest songs.

At the beginning of the week we continued to learn each other’s names. When sitting in a circle, the boys clapped the number of syllables in each names. We then categorised our names by their initial letter sounds. We discovered that names beginning with ‘H’ were the most common in RS. After this, the boys practised writing their name leaning how to use the cursive script and decorated the edge of their name card.

As Reception are not yet attending assemblies, Mrs Price very kindly came down to Reception to tell them about the ‘Been there done it’ project. The boys were excited by the ideas.

On Thursday the boys went to their first computing lesson in the computing suite. They practised their mouse control and played simple puzzle games.

Next week they will begin their PE lessons, which take place after lunch as well as their ‘Explore and Learn’ (child initiated learning) time.

The boys have begun their phonic lessons and have thoroughly enjoyed learning the songs and actions for the letter sounds introduced so far. It has been great to see the fantastic work the boys have been completed at home too.

In Maths we have started to practise forming our numbers, remembering that every number starts from the top.

In relation to our topic ‘ourselves’, we have begun to look at our five senses.

We look forward to seeing the boys next week. We hope you all have a lovely weekend.
