Week 13 : Public Speaking!

Busy bees we have been in Reception this week! 

In Maths we finished our review and children continued to demonstrate great progress!

In English we learnt the sounds /sh/ and /ch/ and made sure we could hear and say the difference between both sounds. We began blending to read and segmenting to write words using the new sounds and all the Phase 2 sounds previously learnt. We also wrote about our Weekend News and children are showing great improvement.

We have spend a good amount of time rehearsing for our Nativity play 'Everyone Loves a Baby'. This is a great learning opportunity for the children as they get to perform on stage, practise their public speaking skills, develop their confidence and be introduced to acting! Children are learning fast, and we can't wait to show you the final result! 

Congratulations to Pine and Lua who are our Poetry Competition Winners! 

Week 12 : Happy Loy Krathong!

This week was review and assessments week in Reception and we spent the week looking at the sounds we have learnt in phonics and the new skills we have developed in Maths this term. Children worked individually with their teachers and demonstrated their progress and their ability to blend sounds to read, segment sounds to write and read and write Tricky Words. It was wonderful to see the children's improvement since joining Reception and it also allowed the teachers to set new learning targets. 

This week we have also been getting ready for Loy Krathong and we are excited about the event taking place tonight. It will be such a great gathering for our school community! We hope you have a wonderful Loy Krathong at Regent's!

Don't forget to rehearse the poem at home, we will update photos of our Poetry Competition next week! 

Week 11

This week in Reception children have been busy with lots of different tasks! Not only did we continue learning about the concept of 'more or fewer/less' in Maths, but we also learnt the new sounds /zz/ and /qu/ in English. 

On Monday children shared about their weekend and they are now able to talk about their past experiences, sometimes using the correct tenses! Children are also beginning to write about their Weekend News, as opposed to simply drawing a picture.

In Topic class, children learnt about our Nativity story and they got to know which roles they will be playing. It is all becoming very exciting and we are working hard to learn the songs and actions. 

In Thai lessons we practised our dance for Loy Krathong and we made Krathong that we got to take home! 

We are excited about Loy Krathong and can't wait to attend with you all.

Have a lovely weekend!

Week 10: Halloween!

Happy Halloween! 

This week we celebrated Halloween, learnt new sounds, continued to blend and read and learnt about one more and one less! What a busy week! 

In Topic class we did some Taste & Smell experiments which were so much fun! We talked about textures and tastes and children were able to identify lots of different foods from coffee to lemon!
