Reception
Welcome to Reception
On this page you will find lots of information about our learning, dates for diaries, useful websites and resources.
Below is a summary of the learning which has taken place in the classroom this week.
This week the children have been writing about their trip to Hesketh Farm. They have also been thinking about ways they can look after our planet and wildlife.
The children have also been learning about healthy and unhealthy foods, and the importance of eating a balanced diet. They have been learning why some foods are good for us and why others should only be had as a treat.
Learnology
There are five learning heroes; Reggie Relationship, Rosie Ready, Richard Resilient, Ronnie Resourceful and Rachel Reflective. They all have their own special learning powers, which the children will be learning all about.
Our Learning Hero focus will be based on Ronnie Resourceful’s learning powers, which include having a good imagination and being creative, using lots of different resources to help with learning, being good at noticing how learning links together, having a balanced view and being able to explain answers.
Our Learning Hero for this week is Rupert. Well done!
