Reception – Christmas preparations!

24.11.23

Hello children, parents and carers,
This week we’ve been busy spreading the Christmas joy and making sure that our room looks festive and all dressed for the coming celebrations . As you can imagine the children took an active part in the preparations. They decorated the Christmas tree independently, making sure everyone had a turn hanging a bauble. I think you will all agree that the tree looks amazing 🙂

Our small world area turned into a Nativity scene and the children are now able to retell the christmas story, make books and role play the Christmas story with their friends.

Our Letters to Santa were such a hit. What a great way to practise blending, segmenting and handwriting… all through play. The children are more and more confident using what they know. I can’t be more proud.

If you are thinking that all we did is playing you are wrong. In Little Wandle we’ve learnt 4 new digraphs and 4 new tricky words – she, he, of, push.

We also read super long sentences like: ‘It is a mess in this bag’. Thank you for your support and making sure that your children read at home too.

In Maths we went on a shape hunt around the school. We looked for shapes carefully and then made a tick box. We discussed how a piece of pizza is almost a triangle and an orange is almost a circle.
