11th - 15th October

Last week the children were learning about repeating patterns in numeracy. They made their own repeating patterns using paints, chalks, beads, shapes, play dough and many other resources. 

Have a look below at some of the repeating patterns the children have made.

Thank you for all the shoe boxes we have received! The children will be creating Woodland Homes using the shoe boxes this week.

Harvest festival

This week the children have been celebrating the Harvest festival. We have talked about why we celebrate Harvest and drawn pictures of our favourite fruits/vegetables that we are thankful to God for. We sang songs about Autumn and made pumpkin soup in our water tray! The children also used leaves and printing of fruits to create lovely Autumnal pictures. On Friday we had our Harvest festival assembly and we enjoyed taking part and singing with the whole school. For those who were able to attend I’m sure you will agree that the children sang beautifully and confidently in their performance at Sedgberrow school!
 
We look forward to our open morning next week when you will be able to see our lovely displays and share a part of our morning in Reception.

27th September - 1st October

Well it has been another busy and fun week in the reception class. On Wednesday we had a fantastic time with Mrs B for European Day of Languages and everyone looked amazing in their European costumes! We have also learnt 4 new sounds in phonics and have been busy practising writing the letters using paint, sand, whiteboards and even toothpaste! The children have each done a self-portrait using oil pastels, these will be displayed shortly. I have to say parents, I think we may have some budding artists in the class! The children have been set homework to practise putting on their shoes and socks independently, so parents please encourage your child to do so.

Enjoy the weekend!
