Reception Class Page

Hello and welcome to Reception Class!

Mrs Murray teaches the Reception children on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. and is supported by our teaching assistant Mrs Norbury who also runs our after school club. Mrs Franklin teaches in Reception for the rest of week supported by our other teaching assistant Mrs Ashworth. Miss Whittington is our teaching assistant who works in Reception every day.

Our Summer 2 topic is ‘Why is Water Wet?’. During this topic we will be going on a class trip to Blue Planet aquarium. The children will be finding out what we know about water – where do we get water from? What words can we use to describe water? They will be investigating objects that float and those that sink. They will design and make a boat that floats on water. The children will do a melting experiment where they will explore freezing and melting and find out what happens when you warm ice up using the sun. They will be designing,  making and testing a junk model boat.

English

Our Talk for Writing book for this half term is ‘The Rainbow Fish’

We will learn to tell the story using actions and draw story maps. We will then write simple sentences to tell the beginning , middle and end of the story. The children will then plan their own version of the story, choose their favourite and then will write the new version together as a class.
