Reception 2
Fun in Reception!
Reception 2 are really enjoying inside and outside time in the classroom. We are working well as a class; taking turns, sharing and making friends.
Read Write Inc
Today we began our phonics lessons. We follow Read Write Inc. We were all amazing! We sat and listened and learned our new sound, which was 'm'. We then practised writing it and after that we played a game with 'Fred'. We cannot wait to learn some more tomorrow.
Reception enjoyed running around the mile track today. Look at them go!
Number formation practise on whiteboards. We looked at the correct way to form numerals 1-10.
