Class 1 2023 - 2024

I am Mrs Jobbins and I am the teacher in Reception. I feel very passionate about Early Years! Mrs Howarth and Mrs Woolley are on hand to help us with our learning. 

Our big classroom is made up of lots of areas for us to explore and investigate. We also love to play outside and in our purpose built outdoor classroom The Den.
Our outdoor space is full of wonderful wooden equipment; our marvellous water wall, play house, rope and pulley system, den posts and story telling throne are just the beginning! We look forward to making the most of it all and seeing lots of wonderful conversations and moments of learning.

Welcome back to the Summer term!

Our first topic this half term is Storytellers. We will explore different traditional tales; focusing on the characters, settings and new vocabulary. We will then attempt writing and performing our own stories as well as creating beautiful artwork to accompany them. 

We will then move on to look at Minibeasts. In this topic we will look closely at different minibeasts and consider the similarities and differences. We will focus on the body parts of an insect and discover what a micro habitat is. We are also looking forward to a bee study week where will will learn about the life cycles, roles and jobs that each bee has. 

In phonics we will continue to practise our segmenting and blending skills whilst we continue to learn more Phase 4 blends, this will help our reading become more fluent. We will have lots of opportunities for mark making and forming letters that are now more familiar. 

In maths we will learn how to use rekenreks to subitise and work out simple addition and subtraction sums before consolidating our learning from the year.

We have so much to look forward to over the coming weeks and we are so excited to share our learning with you.
