Reception

Croeso i Derbyn. Welcome to Reception.

Mrs Lewis is your teacher.

Mr Williams and Miss Mauchline help you too.

This term our topic for learning is Our World. We will be finding out about the country of Greece. We will be looking at the flag, national costume, food, climate, artwork and the history of the Olympics. We will be having mini themed weeks and hope to create a Greek restaurant as our role play area. We have invited a mum who is from Greece to come and talk to us and show us some pictures. We are hoping to have a festival to conclude our work where we will celebrate our learning and find out about the countries that other classes have studied.

Our topic will focus on our PSD helping us to find out about different cultures and countries and respecting each other. We will be helping at the school allotment and learning about how to look after our environment.

This term in Literacy, Language and Communication we will be applying our letter sounds to read and write words. We will be developing our vocabularies using games and activities. We will be developing the use of our spelling journals. We will be writing a recount story and an explanation text.

In our Mathematical Development we will be learning to count in 2's to 10 and 10's to 100. We will be counting by grouping objects. We will continue to explore capacity, money and data collection.
