Welcome to the Summer Term Reception! We recognise how important and special this year is for so many reasons and we aim to reflect that in all that we do throughout the year. We started the year by making sure the children were comfortable in their school environment. Making friends and building positive relationships with staff is a priority so we continue to have lots of time for play both independent or guided by the adults. Activities are carefully planned around our Talk for Writing texts, this term we are reading ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and ‘Farmer Duck’.

This term we will be asking the questions ‘What can you find outside?’ and ‘Where do you want to go on holiday?’

Easter activities 

Super Reading

Together we used our phonics knowledge to read the word, before shining our torches to reveal the picture to see if we were correct. 

During science week Elsa sent us a letter, telling us that she had frozen the superheroes! 
We then explored different ways to try and rescue them from the ice. 

Superhero learning designing our own superhero capes.
