Our homework web has lots of suggested home activities linked to our current topic. These activities are linked to the areas of learning in Reception and are designed to be practical, using resources at home which do not need printing.
These activities are for the whole of the half term. Ideally, you should select one activity to complete each week. Which activity you choose and the order in which you complete them is entirely your choice.
Once you have selected an activity from the web you can upload photos or videos on Tapestry to show completed homework. We will then award your child with a green dojo.
We can’t wait to see all your lovely homework and celebrate their work in class.
Autumn Two 2023
Nurse
Today, we had a very special visit from a local nurse. She brought her first aid kit and a box full of equipment to show the children. She allowed the children to look closely at the equipment and then she kindly left it at school for the children to play with.
They had so much fun this afternoon pretending to be nurses and looking after their friends.
Police
We had a very special visit from some police officers. They talked about their role and showed us all of their equipment.
One of the police officers showed us his police car and allowed us to sit in it and turn on the flashing lights and sirens.
The other police officer showed us the special uniform and hats they have to wear.
Firefighters
As part of our topic about 'People who help us', we had a very special visit today from the Fire Service.
We looked at their fire engine and the firemen showed us where they store all of their equipment. Mrs Leeson volunteered to try on their special protective clothing and was surprised at how heavy it was.
The firemen then allowed some of the children to shoot water from the fire hose but unfortunately they were then called out to an emergency.
Police
The teachers tried the uniform on to show us what it looks like and we modelled the hats.
Firefighters
The children loved listening to the siren and watching them drive away with the lights flashing.
BBC Philharmonic Orchestra
We had a very special visit from the BBC’s Philharmonic Musical Workshop.
They performed the story of the Gingerbread Man to music using a violin, a cello and a flute. Before they started the performance they talked about the different instruments and showed the children how to play them.
During the performance the children were encouraged to sing the Gingerbread Man song and copy the actions to the song.
Autumn One 2023
Black History Month 2023
Black History Month is celebrated in school each October, to recognise the achievements of black people in the past and present.
In circle time today we talked about lots of different black people from the past and how they fought for freedom and to be treated equally.
We discussed in our classes how important it is for everyone to be treated fairly.
Maths
In Maths this week, we have been learning how to match different objects together and describe how things are the 'same' and 'different.'
Black History Month 2023
Finally we looked at pictures of lots of significant black people and spoke about how they have made a difference.
PE
The children have been amazing at getting changed for our first PE lesson in the hall. They have been practising different 'stop', 'start' games. The children listened well to Miss MacManus's instructions.
Pets
During our topic of 'Pets,' the children have enjoyed playing in the role play area as vets. They were really excited to look after the animals and make them better.
Liturgical Prayer
The children were very respectful during this session. We spoke about Love, Care and Respect. The children were given a paper heart and asked to draw how they could show love and kindness.
