Your improvement with your handwriting has completley blown us away. Well done.
Wow. You have all worked so hard this week. You have sent us so much work and we are so proud of you all and your parents. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed to help your children with home learning.

Our Story Map of Goodnight Spaceman.
Today in class we have been to the Dough Disco. Check out the link below to have a go at home. I have also added a recipe to make your own play-dough too. Play dough is great to strengthen little fingers which will help with pencil grip and control.
In class today we have played shops, just like you at home. Here is a game we found you might like to play. Follow the link below, and look at the photos of the fun we have had. Send your shops to Miss Harrison. We would love to see what you have been selling and buying.

We have had a busy few weeks in Reception.
In Maths we have been learning about length, height and 3D shapes.
Literacy we have been reading the stories, a Tale of the Atwood Feathers, The Stickman and The Gruffalo’s Child. Ask your child who the Author of The Stickman and The Gruffalo’s Child is? We have been learning how to make story maps and making our own. We have been segmenting words using our Fred fingers and some of us have been writing our own labels and captions.
We have also enjoyed strengthening our fingers playing games to develop our fine motor skills.
This week we have been getting excited for Christmas in our home corner making Christmas dinner and building toys in Santa’s Workshop.....we have also been getting ready for some Christmas Surprises for all you Adults at home. Shhhhh!

During homeschooling please make reference to this page on the website.
https://www.anthonybek.com/early-years-foundation-stage/
Here you will find information about our curriculum. Useful tips and online games and resources.
Below is a video showing you how to support your child with blending in phonics. Use your sound cards in your reading pack to support your child with this each day. We will upload a new sound daily for you to teach your child. They may already have this in their set. If not you can make them one at home. Remember all the sounds and rhymes are in the back of their Home School Diary. We have already taught m,a,s,t,d and i,n,p,g. It is good practice to write the sound as well as say and recognise it too.
Our First Day in Reception
Our first morning in Reception class! We started our day with wake and shake (we used gonoodle and chose Boom Chicka Boom if you would like to try this at home). We have enjoyed using the powder paint independently and some of us have been practising writing our names! Miss Harrison and Miss Hudson are very happy to see that all the children have settled in really well and we all have big smiles on our faces!

Our Star of The Week for this week is...
SKYLA AND OLIVER!
Skyla you have impressed me with all of the practical learning you have been doing this week! I love the painting you have been doing with Mummy, especially the NHS pebble. You have also been busy making your own pizzas, which looked delicious. I can't wait to see what you get up to next week, thank you for your emails
Oliver, I have really enjoyed looking at the photographs and videos you have been uploading. You are such a caring and helpful big brother to Georgina which is lovely to see. It looks like you have learned lots of facts about dinosaurs too, I can't wait to see what else is inside your red book when we return to school!
Thank you for making me smile this week, we are all so proud of you both!
Love Miss Harrison, Miss Hudson, Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Clayton

Here is a video of Bolt, Sonic and Tails eating their weekly fish flakes.
It is their favourite part of their week after bath time.
As you can see the babies are growing very quickly, but they still look tiny compared to Bolt.
I wonder if any of you could have a go at painting or drawing our pet Giant African Land Snails, or maybe even research GALS?

Here are a few ideas for you Pirates to be doing at home.
Arghhh! Shiver me timbers!!
Hello Reception!
Thank you for your photos this week, we have a new face.
Your friend Skyla has been having lots of fun at home, making pizza and doing some painting. Its great to see her beautiful smile.
Logans not so keen on doing the work booklets, but that's fine because he's doing lots of learning other ways. Its great to see him using Purple Mash. We all like to learn different ways.
Nellie has enjoyed her look, cover and write sheets for sentence writing and even did some quick math sums at snack time with her grapes.
Adanya has been a scienstist this week and experimented making her own crystals...we love the goggles Adanya.
Florence has been learning about space....did anyone see SpaceX Launch on Saturday? Miss Hudson and her children stayed up lat, got wrapped up in blankets on the garden and spotted it going over Shirebrook. Let us know if you saw it too.
Tiana didn't want to do Maths this week, so her Mummy made her a Treasure Chest and she enjoyed doing it using that. Great idea Tiana's Mum. She has also been looking a differences in homes and countries. She is able to see the differences her Mum had as a child growing up in a different country to Tiana's childhood here in England.
Taine made a obstacle challenge for him and his mum. He took 17 seconds to complete and his mum took 25. Taine made it harder by putting lava in the middle made out of blanket which his mum had to jump over.
We have seen so may different activities this week, what a great start to the Summer Term. Maths, Literacy, Science, Understanding of the World, Creative, ICT and PE. Keep up the great work. I think us Teachers and Teaching Assistants need to look out for your adults taking our jobs.
