St John the Baptist CE VA Primary School Reception

Welcome to Reception. This week we have been settling into our new class and getting to know each other. We went on a school tour and met some very important people and we went to St John the Baptist church for our Welcome Service with Reverend Sarah. Our topic this half term is ‘Ourselves’ and we created a mind map to show what we already know and new information we have discovered. We painted self-portraits and practised writing our names. We read our Scarf PSED book, All About Me and thought about how we are the same and how we are different. We also began our Little Wandle, Rhyme Time lessons, which supports children learning language, their awareness of sounds within words and later their reading. For maths this week we have been singing counting rhymes and practising our counting skills. During Learning Through Play we had the opportunity to practise getting ready for school in our Home Corner, making faces with playdough and building with wooden blocks in our Outside Area.
