Reception

Welcome to the Bluebells class page!

Our class is an exciting and stimulating pace to learn and grow! We all have a special role to play in our class jigsaw puzzle. We share our interests, celebrate our differences and most of all, we respect each other. Every day brings exciting new adventures. We are independent learners and show this in our busy learning time in both our provision indoors and outdoors. One of our favourite things to do is to develop our gross motor skills on the climbing frame and when riding our bikes on the outdoor track. We are creative, enthusiastic and resilient; there are some engineers of the future in the class! We work hard to be the best we can be, we follow the rules, encompass the Eaton Park values and tackle any challenge with an ‘I can do it’ attitude!

We are very excited about our learning journey in Reception and can’t wait to tell you all about it! Our topics for this year are:

Let’s explore!

We will learn about autumn, features of our local community and different celebrations.

Once upon a time

We will explore different stories where we will look at a variety of characters and story settings.

Ready Steady Grow

We will discover what plants need in order to grow and how farmers grow and yield crops.

Big Wide World

We will understand where we live in the world and compare our country to another, particularly looking at different cultures. We will also find out about the past by looking at how transport and holidays have changed over time.

Reading is one of our favourite parts of the day in Reception! We love our DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read) when we can dive into a magical book and get whisked off into an exciting tale. You will often find us sitting in our reading garden and sharing our favourite stories with our friends.

This year, we will be reading the following texts throughout the year:

• The Little Red Hen
• The Leaf Thief
• The Three Little Pigs
• The Gingerbread Man
• Jack and the Beanstalk
• Handa’s Surprise
• Whatever Next!
• The Night Pirates

Our goal this year in Reception to have as many Bookworm winners as possible, so we are going to work together to read 5 times every week!

Routines/key information

Toast money needs to be paid on a Monday for the week

Reading books and diaries will be changed on a Thursday.

We hope you have enjoyed learning about our amazing class and thank you for reading about us.

Hello and welcome to the Buttercups class page!

Our class is a wonderful place to be and we love being a part of our Buttercup family. Each and every Buttercup has a special role to play in our class jigsaw puzzle. We share our interests, celebrate our differences and most of all, we respect each other. Every day brings exciting new adventures. We are independent learners and show this in our busy learning time in both our provision indoors and outdoors.
