Shapes

This week we have been learning to name and describe 2D shapes. We made shape pictures and we sang songs and played games. Perhaps you could look for 2D shapes when you go out walking.
We have been learning our Harvest song 'Farmer Plants the seeds'. You can find it on YouTube and sing along together.
We read the story of 'The Three Little Pigs' and the children wrote books and made pictures and paintings as well as practising their scissor skills by cutting out the characters.
We had our first PE session in the hall and we were very impressed by the way the children listened and followed instructions. The children are all settling in so well!
Our Home Learning this week is to decorate an envelope for Harvest and donate some money for charity.

Once Upon a Time

The children have settled really well into school and this week we started to think about our topic 'Once Upon a Time' and what we would like to learn. This week we read the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Some of the children made some lovely books and all the children made paintings of teddies.
In Literacy we all drew pictures of the three bears and then had a go at labelling them. For our Maths we used size language to talk about the bears.
We have all read with the teacher this week and will be taking a reading book home. Please read together over the weekend and make sure you sign the record every time you read so that we can give you a new book. The home learning this week is to decorate some bunting for our 50th birthday celebrations on Monday 2 October.

Welcome to Willow Class!

We have had a fantastic start to the new school year. All the children are settling in really well reacquainting themselves with old friends and making lots of new ones. They are starting to get used to the routines in school and are discovering some of the exciting learning opportunities available to them.
Today we all went into the Celebration assembly for the first time. They all did very well to sit and listen and some children have already gone into the star book! Joe took home our Learning Owl, Ollie Owl, this week for concentrating and having new ideas when he made a model.
On Tuesday 19 September we have a New to Reception meeting at 7.30 pm that we suggest everyone should attend. Please look out for the Topic Web and Parent Newsletter which should now be in you e-mails.

The Train Ride

The children have come back from the holidays eager to learn and to share what they did. We have read the story of 'The Train Ride'...
