Reception: Autumn 2025

Reception class had great fun at our Christmas party.  We looked very festive in our party clothes and loved dancing to the Christmas music.  We enjoyed playing party games and eating yummy party food.  We even had a special visit from Santa.   We wish all of our Reception families and friends a very Merry Christmas.

Reception class enjoyed sharing the story of baby Jesus being born through fantastic singing and acting in their Nativity. Well done everyone.

Reception have loved acting out birthdays in our Home Corner.  We have been thinking about why we celebrate birthdays and can't wait until it is Jesus' birthday on the 25^th December. 

Reception class enjoyed it when some of our families came into school to read us some stories. We loved listening to the story of the Gruffalo that Mrs Marley read to us in the library and had fun guessing which creature was trying to trick the mouse next. We couldn't believe how clever the mouse was.

Reception have loved listening to the story of 'Funnybones' and had fun acting it out in the Butterfly Garden.  We couldn't believe it when we saw a real skeleton in school. 

Reception class enjoy using the ipads to go on the Reading Eggs programme at school. They love the fact that they can play on the same games at home too!

Reception class loved talking about fireworks they had seen and enjoyed creating their own firework pictures.  They thought of lots of words to describe the fireworks.

Reception had great fun at our Halloween disco where we played party games and danced to the music.  We loved playing in the classroom with gloop, pumpkins and green spaghetti! We liked seeing our Buddies dressed up too when we rehearsed our assembly together. 

Reception enjoyed walking to Kenton Library where we had a story read to us by the librarian. We looked at some books and chose some to bring back to school. 

We loved acting out the story of ‘Farmer Duck’. We were one of the characters from the story and wore the masks. Some of us were the farmer, duck or an animal.  We liked it at the end of the story when the animals chased the lazy farmer out of the farmhouse.

Reception are enjoying learning the Phase 2 letter sounds.  We went on a hunt outside to find the magnetic letters that had been hidden, state the sound and put them in the correct letter hoop.   Great work Reception.

Reception have enjoyed building big models outside, cooking yummy food in our mud kitchen and making models of ourselves with the playdough. 

Our Reception class have loved making new friends, learning new songs, listening to lots of stories and exploring all of the Reception toys.  We have had a great few days and can't wait for next week.
