Reception Weekly Review
Friday 27th June 2025Prime Areas
(Physical Development, Understanding the World, Communication and Language, Expressive Arts and Design and Personal, Social and Emotional Development).
We have had a lovely week in Reception this week with lots of fun in the sun. We have enjoyed our English text ‘The Naughty Bus’ and immersing ourselves in lots of transport activities. We painted and drew buses, built a bus and a bus stop using the community blocks and crashed our buses through some beans. In Topic this week we compared the past and the present and looked at the job of a bus conductor and how we might pay for the bus now. In Circle Time we talked about the feelings happy and sad.
English
This week in English we read ‘The Naughty Bus’ by Jan and Jerry Oke. In the story a London bus goes on a journey full of naughty adventures such as driving through beans and chips, swimming in a pond and driving through the garden. We discussed our own experiences on a London bus and what naughty things our toy bus would do if we had one. Each class also wrote their own story about a naughty scooter.
Phonics and Reading Practice
This week we read CVCC and CCVC words with long vowels such as splat, spark and joint. We had no new tricky words this week and spent the week revising already taught words. 
Maths
This week, we looked at number patterns. We reviewed our knowledge of doubles, equal numbers and evens and odds. We have been practicing our stem sentence to help us learn our doubles - 8 is made from 4 and 4 and 4 and 4 make 8. We also looked at maps and how to follow a simple map to reach a destination.
