RECEPTION
Miss R Innes and Mrs. S BrogdenWelcome to the wonderful world of Reception!
Our teachers are Miss Innes and Mrs. Brogden and our Teaching Assistant is Miss Tingle.
We aim to inspire, in every child, a love of learning and enable them to achieve their goals, aspirations, and dreams, by encouraging independence, confidence, and creativity.
We believe that young children learn and develop best in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual needs, both in the classroom environment and in the great outdoors.
We hope you enjoy looking around our class blog, which is a window into our world and the wonderful things we get up to, please feel free to add any photos or comments you have too!

Positional language
In Maths we have been looking at different positions in relation to different objects. We used the language ‘left, right, above, below, under, on top of, next to, in front of and behind’. We worked in partners to challenge each other to find different positions in the...
Tasting foods
We tasted different foods without being able to see them and guessed what the foods were. We then found out what they were and discussed whether they were salty, sweet, bitter, sour or umami. Some foods were tastier than others!
Families
We have started learning about different types of families in the world. We discussed what our families at home are like and how they compared to how other people may live. We worked together to find a family of different animals at the start without talking to each...
Mystery Reader
We enjoyed welcoming a mystery reader into our class today, listening to how all the different crayons felt on how much they were used when someone colours. We loved guessing who it might be and then listening to the story. Thank you!

Beat 1 Tag
We played Beat 1 Tag in Music today, moving only on the first beat of 4 around the room to tag each other. It took us a bit of practice but we really enjoyed it and we’re counting in 4 to the music together.
Branching Databases
The children have been learning how to create branching databases in computing and they have spotted them in other subjects too like science when they have been identifying rocks.
Investigating light
The children were investigating how reflective the surface of materials were. They thought about the properties of those materials and what made them reflective. They recorded their observations on a table and were surprised with some of their results.
Pretzel Party
As part of Design Technology the children were learning about food around the world. They made some tasty pretzels. It was really interesting to see how the yeast reacted when the water was added which created lots of discussion. They had to follow the instructions...
