Over the last few weeks, we have been learning about doctors, paramedics, and nurses. The children have enjoyed playing doctors in our role play area and helping their patients feel better.
We have created different emergency vehicles and people who help us, for our classroom display.
Thanks for all your support this half term. Your children have been working very hard.
We look forward to our new topic and learning all about transport, next half term.
This half term, Reception are learning about the people who help us.
This week, we focused on the police, with a ‘crime scene’ in the book corner.
The children became police officers and investigated the scene, looking for clues and thinking about who could have caused such a mess!
The children have enjoyed dressing up as police officers and solving crimes.
We have also been decorating police cars and making our own police officers.
We look forward to finding out more about the different people who help us in the community, next week.
EYFS Team
To support your child’s learning in maths, Numbots (EYFS, KS1), MyMaths (KS1, KS2) and Times Tables Rock Stars (KS1, KS2) can be used to practise key skills.
Please let the class teacher or school office know, if your child has not had or forgotten their log-in details.
Last week, we learnt ‘All About Us.’ We looked carefully at ourselves in the mirror and drew self-portraits. We thought carefully about our skin, hair, and eye colour, as well as additional features, like freckles. We used skin colour crayons and matched the crayon colour to our own skins. We had so much fun expressing ourselves and being creative.
Pupils have started their first full week at Bowmansgreen with enthusiasm. They are becoming more confident and familiar with the school rules, routines and expectations and looking after their classroom environment and equipment.
Lunchtimes are going well, with pupils showing good manners at the dining table, trying new foods and enjoying the social time with their friends.
Our reception classes have made a super start at Bowmansgreen. Children have been busy making friends, getting to know the class adults and their new learning environment.
Today, children will stay for their first lunchtime and finish at 1.30pm.
Please ensure that all of your child’s uniform and belongings are clearly named, including water bottles and shoes.
This half term we have been spending a lot of time practising our story telling skills. We have already enjoyed dressing up as our favourite characters for World Book Day and creating some fantastic story boxes. The children clearly spent a long time planning and creating their story boxes and have had the opportunity to share them in class and retell the story to their friends.
Please remember to share any videos or photographs of your children retelling some of their favourite stories at home. We would love to share the videos with the other children in class.
Half term already!
It has been a very busy half term in Reception. We spent the first part learning about Pokémon and superheroes; the children loved changing our reading area into a superhero village and role playing superheroes in class.
We used this topic for our Design and Technology project where all of the children were tasked with creating a trap to catch an evil villain! Reception had such wonderful ideas, of using nets, boxes and crates to catch their villain. Please do have a look at the video that will be shared after half-term, showing you all of the children’s D&T work.
Our next topic is going to be ‘transport’ where we will look at and learn about different types of transport including buses, boats, planes and trains. We have some exciting stories to share with the children, including ‘The Naughty Bus’ and ‘Whatever Next!’
If you take part in something exciting or use different types of transport during the half term, please remember to share them with us via Tapestry. We really look forward to seeing some of the fun activities you take part in, during the break.
