Our last week…
We’ve had a lovely final week in Reception. We’ve continued revising our skills through phonics, maths and literacy carpet sessions. We’ve been writing about our favourite memories throughout our time in Reception and thinking about ‘spreading our wings’ into year one.
The children managed fantastically well during the heatwave. We spent half an hour outside in the morning on Monday and Tuesday, keeping to shaded areas and keeping cool by paddling. Some of the children picked the peas that had grown in our garden. Regular water breaks, blinds down, cooling wet paper towels or spray bottles and less active activities, ensured we kept happy and healthy. Thank you again to parents and carers, for your cooperation in sending your children to school in cooler clothing and collecting earlier on Tuesday.
The children were happy to get back to full playtimes and outdoor explorations, as the weather cooled down.
The Selfie Station…
The children have throughly enjoyed being in charge of photography this week! They’ve captured moments at the selfie station and around the classroom. Take a look at their snaps in the video below!
The beach party…
We had some brilliant beach- themed fun on Thursday! What a way to celebrate the end of the year!
A special performance…
As part of our topic this half term, Where in the world, we’ve been learning about coastal environments and the sea. Over the past few weeks, Mrs Myers has been working her magic, teaching the children a special song. The children also collaborated in their artwork to create sea animals and seaweed as props to perform the song. We are proud to present to you Octopus’s Garden by The Beatles:
Octopus’s Garden- Reception 2022
A final message…
On behalf of the whole Reception team, I would like to finish by saying how proud we are of all the children in Reception. We’ve had such an amazing year together. It is always difficult to say goodbye to our classes, who we cherish so dearly, but we’re equally excited for them to start their year one adventures. They are so ready to wow their new teachers!
And to you, our wonderful parents and carers. Thank you for your partnership this year; through general support, home-link challenges, emails, photos, doorway chats and kind words.
Enjoy a relaxing, fun-filled Summer holiday together. We’ll see you again on Tuesday 6 September!
