Having a growth mindset
We’ve starting our learning all about ‘Growth mindsets’. We have been talking about having a positive attitude to our learning, making mistakes is ok and not giving up if things are tricky. We set ourselves a ‘Growth mindset challenge’ .We had to put our jumpers on, when the sleeves are inside out! Something we often find tricky to do. But we had a Growth mindset and we did it!
Pirates!
We have been learning about pirates recently. We have been looking at maps, learning about the oceans and lots more!
Real Life Superheroes
We have been learning about the jobs that people do at home and at school that help us and our community. We enjoyed finding out about what our grown-ups do all day when we are at school. We got in training for some of the jobs such as being a firefighter, dentist or doctor. We also had some visitors come to class to talk about what they do. We started with real life superheroes from our school such as Chef Bridget and our Site Services Officer, Mr Taylor. We also met visitors from outside of school - a children's nurse, a musician and even a train driver. The children listened carefully and asked them some great questions about what they do!
Muddy Mondays
We loved our first ‘Muddy Monday’ session! We went out into the woods and talked about our five senses. We focused on the sense of touch for our first session. We went around the woods touching different things and describing how they felt. We had to be sensible though and decide whether or not some things in the woods shouldn’t be touched (eg things that might be sharp or prickly!)
Owl babies
We’ve really enjoyed our first topic of Reception- Owl babies. We loved reading the story and have taken part in lots of owl related activities- our favourite had to be having a visit from some real owls!
Starting school!
We have been absolute superstars during our first few days of Reception. We’ve been learning all the school rules and routines, making new friends and even had a tour of the school. We think we are in for a very fun year ahead! X
