We have had another lovely, albeit very busy week in reception! The children are becoming noticeably more settled every day and are getting more confident with familiar routines. A lot of firsts this week with our first school photos and borrowing our first book from the school library, which means we are understandably quite tired.

📚Literacy📚
This week we have been reading ‘The Lion Inside’ and working on our mark making. We thought about times of when we had been brave and drew a picture of this which helped us to give meaning to the marks we make. We have also been developing our fine motor control through different activities.

This week we have been looking at sorting objects and have used the items collected on your autumn walks to sort groups. We have also been learning about more, fewer and the same and comparing different groups of objects. It was really lovely to see the children applying this vocabulary in their discovery time as well.

✝️RE✝️
We have continued looking at the story of Creation and how the world is a gift from God. We have been discussing how we can look after the world and focused on ‘stewardship’.
