Reception have been busy learning their number bonds to 5. They all have worked incredibly hard.
In RE, we learned that God and Jesus are like a circle because they have no beginning or end. We cut, traced, drew and coloured circles of different sizes.

We cut and blended our fruit to making delicious smoothies which we really enjoyed!
It was an extra exciting day today! We went to a supermarket with a shopping list to buy some different healthy fruits.
We have been learning about how God is all around us. We made our own telescopes and went on a God hunt to see where He was in our playground. Where do you think we found Him?
Another fun, busy day in Reception having fun learning.
Our new comfy furniture arrived for our book corner!
My name is Mr. McCarthy and I will be the class teacher of Reception this year alongside Ms. Manesh and Ms. Monika.

Year 4 came to read to Reception Friday afternoon. It was lovely to watch Reception engrossed in the stories!
Reception collaborated to build a tower this week. Suddenly, it fell! I am sure you can see in the photos what a shock this was! They worked together to build a tower again and it is a joy to see their resilience at this age.
Reception have been reading Harry and his Dinosaurs Go to School. Dino the Explorer left a mysterious egg in our classroom which finally hatched to reveal our very own dinosaur!

However, Reception are excellent detectives and have enjoyed finding where he is hiding.
