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 topic this half term is dinosaurs but we will start our learning by focusing on the eggs that are currently inside our incubator! What might hatch out of these eggs? We will be researching and predicting to see if we can work it out.

We will focus on life cycles and common features of animals that hatch from eggs. We will use the texts Hattie Peck and The Odd Egg to inspire our discussions and writing. 

We will then move on to another animal that hatched from eggs....dinosaurs! We will become paleontologists and use fossils to help us learn more about different types of dinosaurs. We will compare the features of each dinosaur and learn about carnivores and herbivores.

In phonics we will continue to practise our segmenting and blending skills whilst we continue to learn the Phase 3 digraphs. We will have lots of opportunities for mark making and forming letters that are now more familiar. 

In maths we will learn how to count out larger quantities before focusing on odd and even numbers.

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