Welcome to our class page. Please look at this page regularly and you will be able to see what the children

Christmas is nearly here and we are all so excited! This week we have wrapped presents, eaten a delicious Christmas lunch, watched a pantomime and had fun at our Christmas party.

This week we have started getting ready for Christmas; our tree is up, we have set up our Nativity scene and started to make Christmas decorations. We have also been learning a song for our Nativity play in school which you will be able to view at a later date. Reception Class have also enjoyed a virtual pantomime 'Aladdin' and taken part in a Christmas jumper dash.

Week Ending 27.11.20

Reception Class have enjoyed moving around an obstacle course this week are every time they do it, they are getting more skilful and speedier. We have learnt some new poems and enjoyed Numicon bingo on Friday.

This week we have been talking about our mums and how great they are! We all wrote a special piece of writing about our mums which we took home. We have been thinking about winter and noticing the changes outside. Mrs Hargreaves set up another obstacle course, which we love.

Another busy week in Reception Class. It was National Maths Week this week so we have been playing lots of maths games, solving tricky maths puzzles and listening to number stories. We have also learnt about being a scientist and in particular being a Marine Biologist and what they do to help look after our sea and sea creatures. Some of us now want to be scientists when we grow up. Finally, on Friday, we all came to school in our own clothes and raised money for Children in Need.

This week we have been learning all about castles. The children have looked at castles in our local area; Berwick Castle, Bamburgh Castle, Holy Island Castle, Norham Castle and Alnwick Castle. Some castles were ruins but some castles, people still live in. We tried building our own castles with Lego and bricks. The children were very good at remembering the different parts of a castle, such as the turrets, the drawbridge and the dungeons and tried to make sure their castles had these parts in. In Boogie Beats and Yoga we danced like Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses. It has been a lot of fun!

We have also worked hard with the Numicon so that we recognise each Numicon piece quickly. we even built Numicon castles.

Making Music

Today the children have had a great time making music! We have learnt all the names of the different instruments and tried to keep a beat when singing lots of the nursery rhymes we know. 'The Grand Old Duke of York' was our favourite today.

Learning all about our 5 senses.

Senses allow us to observe and understand the world around us. There are five main ways we can do this: through sight (with our eyes), touch (with our fingers), smell (with our nose), taste (with our tongue) and hearing (with our ears).
