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 Spring 2 topic is ‘Are Eggs Alive?’. We start this topic with a special delivery of ten eggs. The children will observe the eggs hatch and the chicks as they grow and develop. They will experience holding and looking after the chicks and will learn what they need to grow and develop. The children will learn about the life cycle of a chicken and a frog. We will be going on a spring senses walk, will learn about animals born in spring, plant cress and look at daffodil bulbs looking at the stages of growth and regrowth. 

English

Our Talk for Writing book for this half term is ‘Six Little Chicks’. We will learn to tell the story using actions, puppets and a pictorial story map. The children will also start to label pictures from the story. We will begin writing simple sentences about the story.
