All about me!

Our first week together

During the first week we have got to know each other, all of our teachers and our way around the school. 

   The transition into Reception is a big step for a young child. We have been learning and adjusting to our new routines, it is also a great experience for me to get to know the children, and learn how I can further their individual needs and abilities. 

We have spent a lot of time laughing this week, talking and debating our interests and examining ourselves in detail; did you know you can learn to wiggle your ears?! Can you roll your tongue...or even turn it upside down?

Please see the photos below for some of the activities we have been using this week. 

Investigating water play has been an essential activity this week. 

Making friends and pushing limits. Children can multitask as well as adults.

Our engineers had found plugs to attach poles together...this developed over the week...

They practiced rolling, jumping, attaching objects and much more...before it went outside. 

Minnie showing a highly qualified example of how to use a toilet. (Minnie started this herself....to which the class found most amusing, and further toilet practice ensued by all)

We had a dressing up party on Thursday!! 

The children have learnt how to access materials themselves, giving them the choice to guide their own learning. We are very lucky to have this opportunity to provide for the children.

The English Curriculum wholeheartedly supports this approach, with overwhelming evidence and research ensuring provision, along with structured teaching, provides the best possible learning opportunities for your child's individual needs.

We painted what we like about school. Peam said he enjoys 'sticks'. So Peam painted a tree with fruit. and a lovely scenery behind.

Over the week, Deepman has been helping his friends build wonderful structures, towers and much more. 

Picnic materials can be sourced at the playdough table. 

(I cant seem to turn this picture around, hopefully your on a phone/ipad.)

E'to and Hong accidentally damaged the display. On their own, they brough over tape and spent time fixing it, until I noticed what they were doing.

This type of behaviour seems logical in their comfortable environment, which we hope to promote outside the classroom and into society. 

Sorting, sorting.

Looking at our blog, and learning how to use educational games. Technology is very much now part of our lives. 

Ploy demonstrating good behaviour. 

Rich and Lewis helped strengthen the guard the girls had against the crocodile

We all love to practice climbing, and challenging ourselves, I'm sure you could do that here too!!

Thanks for looking at the updates and please do interact with us, as we like to with you. We talk about you all day, question what your thinking, and hoping to see you at the end of the day.

Kind regards, 

Douglas.
