In Reception, the children have been captivated by the story 'Look Up', discovering the fascinating objects we might see when we gaze skyward. They have been thinking about their future aspirations and planning what they would pack for a special mission to witness a meteor shower. The class has also collaborated to innovate their own stories, imagining new and exciting things they might discover when looking up.
A real highlight this term was welcoming some owl visitors. The children were fascinated to learn about their silent flight and natural habitats, bringing their learning about nocturnal creatures to life.
In mathematics, we have been exploring numbers 1-5 and their composition. The children have been developing their subitising skills and discussing the different ways numbers can be made—for example, recognizing that 5 can be 3 and 2, or 4 and 1.
We are immensely proud of the progress the children have made in their phonics learning. Many are now reading independently and confidently embarking on their reading journeys.
As the term drew to a close, the children rehearsed enthusiastically for our Christmas celebrations and thoroughly enjoyed showcasing their singing to their families.
