I am the class teacher for Reception and our Learning Support Assistants are Mrs Wheeler and Mrs Levitt.

We started the term in January finding out about houses and homes. This included a walk in the local area to look at the different house styles. We also decided on the furniture that we would like to have in the different rooms. We continued the term with our topic of Traditional Tales and the children enjoyed all the eating activities. They tried porridge for The 3 Bear’s, beans on toast for Jack and the Beanstalk and sausages for The 3 Little Pigs.

After half term our topic of Traditions and Cultures included finding out about life styles in other countries, Chinese New Year and the four Saint’s days that we celebrate. All of which included food from the different countries.

The highlight of finding out about the meaning of Easter was watching our chicks hatch.  We also joined in the school Sports Relief Mile by walking seven times around the field.
