Rainbow - Week 2 - Me and My Family 

This week, our focus is 'Our Families', we will be reading 'Once There Were Giants' and looking at the photographs of their families that you have sent into school.

We will continue to listen to and make sounds as part of the Phase 1 phonics in preparation for starting Phase 2 Phonics next week (starting to learn letters and sounds).

We will be introducing a simplified version of Drawing Club, encouraging the children to be a little creative using some familiar stories.

In Religious Education, we will be learning that God made me and God loves everyone.

We will also be doing some music, mark making, painting, and number rhymes and songs.

Rainbow Week 2

 What a fun week we’ve had in Reception!

Even though it was too windy for Forest School, we still had a great time playing games and exploring the pond. We’ve also been busy practising our songs for the welcome assembly – the children can’t wait to perform!

In PE we pretended to be cars and practised our balancing skills, and in class, we used our whiteboards for the very first time to draw the lifecycle of a caterpillar after reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Music was lots of fun too – we listened to classical pieces and drew to the flow of the music.

In RE we learnt that God made us all and loves each of us, even though we are all different. We also practised making the sign of the cross with our right hands.
