Our first week in Reception

In our first few weeks in Reception, the children have been busy exploring and learning in so many exciting ways. In provision, we have enjoyed role play in our very own doctor’s surgery, measuring how tall we are, listening to heartbeats, and giving advice while dressed up in white coats. We’ve been busy building, creating, and painting wonderful self-portraits, as well as practising writing our names. The dolls’ house has been a popular space for imaginative play and storytelling too.

In maths, we have focused on matching and sorting, developing early number and reasoning skills through hands-on activities. Our books this half term have included Super Duper You and a non-fiction text, My Body Book. Inspired by these, we have labelled body parts and created our own “All About Me” pages to celebrate what makes each of us unique.

It’s been a brilliant start to the year, full of curiosity, creativity, and confidence!
