Welcome to the Reception Class!

Reading and Phonics
We are really enjoying our daily Phonics sessions where we are beginning to learn some new sounds and words. These are sent home each week with the children to continue to learn at home. Please ensure that you recap these with your children to help consolidate their learning. We are also enjoying sharing our reading books. Please try to read daily with your child and write a comment in their reading record. Thank you!
Autumn 1
We have all had a wonderful first few weeks in school. The children have all made lots of new friends and have settled into school really well. We have all enjoyed getting to know each other and everyone has had lots of fun!

Supertato!
We have all been excited to read the Supertato adventures over the Autumn term. The Evil Pea visited our classroom lots of times and did some very unkind things to out vegetable friends, including sticking Carrot to a chair and hanging Broccoli from the ceiling! We set lots of traps for Evil Pea and FINALLY we caught him in the Pea Party, where he stuck to glue and selloptape and our Super Veggie friends that we had created helped to trap lots of Evil Peas in ice.
