Each week we will share what we have been learning in our class. Remember to look at our photo gallery to see what we've been up to.

Friday 16th October 2026

In Maths, we have been using part-whole models to explore numbers. We have been finding different ways to make 3,4 and 5. In Literacy, we have been focussing on rhyme. We enjoyed listening to 'Stick Man' by Julia Donaldson and identifying the rhymes. We have continued to explore Autumn and have created Autumn collages and seasonal pictures using our cutting skills. Another busy week in Reception!

We have been reading 'Oliver's Vegetables' by Vivian French. We have looked closely at different vegetables and discussed our likes and dislikes. We enjoyed planting and digging up vegetables in our own vegetable patch.

In Maths, we have been using our quick eyes to recognise amounts without counting. We performed our song at the Harvest Assembly and have also learnt about what happens at Harvest time. We have been looking for signs of Autumn.

This week we have continued to retell 'The Enormous Turnip'. We have enjoyed adapting the story by adding our own fruit or vegetable. We have been looking at the numbers 1,2 and 3, and practising our subitising skills. We have enjoyed playing in our new sandpit outside too.

We have enjoyed The Enormous Turnip story this week. We have been retelling it using a story map and our BSL signs. We have also started to learn our song for Harvest Festival. In maths we have been looking at numbers and counting.

Another busy week in Reception! We have continued to complete artwork for our displays. We have been looking at number in shapes in maths, and have continued to explore our new learning environment. Mr Lack visited with Tommy the Tortoise. We found out lots of interesting facts about him and are looking forward to seeing him again in the Spring Term after his long Winter sleep.

We have enjoyed our first week at school. We have been learning lots of new routines and have enjoyed exploring our learning environment. We have painted self-portraits for a display and read the story The Colour Monster goes to School. It has been a busy fun week!
