In Reception, we love to learn in lots of fun and practical ways. Keep checking this page of the website to find out what your child has been learning as we will be adding more content to it throughout the term.
Home Learning
As stated in a recent school letter home, while the current advice is to remain open and continue with the education of our young people, the academy has been putting in place contingency plans. Part of this is providing parents and carers with resources for home learning to take place. Please keep checking this section of the class page, as well as Dojo's and other usual channels, for further information.

Reception read the book, The Shopping Basket and were then given a shopping list to get some fruit to make fruit kebabs. They found out about safety when using sharp objects, food hygiene and also the importance of eating healthy food such as fruit. They also used their maths focus this week and made the kebab into a repeating pattern.
