It has been lovely to meet all our new Reception starters this week and welcome them into our school and class and we have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming back our Year 1 children who have been absolute superstars!
This week we have been focusing on our transition into school - we have been getting used to our classroom, our teachers, teaching assistants and our routines. We have been accessing different areas of our classroom, exploring our outdoor area, we have been in the dinner hall and accessed the EYFS playground for dinner time play! We will transition next week into the big playground! Most importantly, we have been making new friends and we have discussed and decided what our classroom rules are going to be. The children have enjoyed several circle times this week where we took turns to share the fun things we had been up to in the holidays, tell our friends our favourite colour and our favourite food! The children waited really patiently to hold our circle time object and know that they can only speak when they are holding this object. We have done lots of Fred Talk this week through games and everyday routines and the children are becoming experts at oral blending! We have done lots of oral counting to 10 and to 20 using actions and we have worked hard to remember our stopping number. Year 1 children have been working on recalling number bonds of 5 using the stem sentence '5 is made of …. and …..'. The Year 1 children have also been introduced to the Caterpillar track game to support their mathematical learning in choosing time. We are now looking forward to diving into our phonics, Literacy, Maths, Geography, Science and Computing over the coming weeks. The staff in class are so proud of how the children have settled in - keep it up Sunshines! Photos will be added shortly once all permissions have been gained.
