Reception Home Learning Spring 1

Hello Reception children and parents,

We were really excited about meeting in person today, but unfortunately for most we will have to wait a little longer now just to make sure we can be as safe as possible. A few weeks ago we stuck a ‘Google Classroom’ slip in your reading diary, with login details for the eventuality of a school closure and to access online learning. This morning, we will upload some work onto Google Classroom for you to have a go at, at home. It may seem tricky at first as most new things are (including for us teachers!) but it really will be easy to use after a little practise. Tomorrow we will share some phonics work, Literacy, along with some other tasks you can complete. Any super work you do, you can share with us via photograph on the EvidenceMe app.

We will be holding a short practise live Google Meet this morning at 10:45 to say hello and share a storytime with you. We will send an invite for this (which will go to the email address you signed up with) to accept the invite. You will then be able to access the meeting through the Google Classroom calendar. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible to say hello and still be able to see our friends.

We will continue to send any information out via the school website and you can contact the Reception teachers and teaching assistants on our Year group email address, where we will get back to you as soon as possible: Newdale.YearRTeam.taw.org.uk

Thank you for all your support.

The Reception Team.

Reception Information for Tuesday Return

Unfortunately due to current circumstances, we are going to postpone our show and tell session for tomorrow. Children will not be required to bring in a toy from home. However, we will still have time to share and discuss their favourite toy and listen all about their Christmas.

If you would like to, it would be wonderful if you could send us a photograph of your child with their favourite toy via the EvidenceMe app, then we can still share this as a show and tell on the screen in class. Alternatively, you could email us your photograph using the Reception Year group email newdale.yearrteam@taw.org.which we can then share with the class on the screen too.

Many thanks,

Reception Team.

Welcome Back Reception

Happy New Year Reception!

We hope you had a lovely break over the holiday period and enjoyed the festivities. We are looking forward to seeing you soon and hearing all about it.

A reminder that Reception PE days and Forest school sessions remain unchanged for this term.

Tuesday – Outdoor PE, Thursday – Indoor PE. Children can come to school wearing kits on those days. Ensure they wear warm kits, even on indoor days as children will be going out at play and lunch times and throughout the day in our outside area.

Forest School sessions – Monday afternoon. Children need to bring in warm and waterproof clothing to change into for these sessions, along with a pair of wellington boots.

See you tomorrow.

Special Visitors to Newdale! 🎅 🌲

Reception were so excited to see their special guest was in fact Mrs Christmas and Santa himself today!
Mrs Christmas read us a lovely Christmas story. It was making Santa sleepy. We saw her special mince pie mix, and even made some Christmas wishes.
We were even lucky enough to each receive a little gift from them to take home.
Such a special treat to end the week. Have a lovely weekend.

Reception Home Learning in the Event of Bubble Closure

As a school, we are opting to use Google Classroom as a way to share Home Learning tasks with you in the event of a bubble closure. More information about how to access this will be sent home soon. Reception will also continue to use the Evidence Me app as the main way to share your learning at home with us. Please find your child’s Google Classroom username and password enclosed in their reading diaries so that they are available when needed.

Many thanks,

The Reception Team.

Making Porridge 🥣

Today Reception had another Science day. We investigated how porridge changes state as we heat it. We also made predictions about where porridge might cool the fastest for the three Bears and Goldilocks, and why. We used data loggers to measure the temperature of the porridge in the different locations. Of course we then had to make porridge and taste it! 🥣 😋 🐻
