Welcome to Reception

We are looking forward to welcoming your children into RRH on Monday 8th September. Your child will be signed up for either mornings or afternoons on the first two days, then are in until 1 o'clock for the rest of the week.

We have lots of exciting activities and experiences planned, we are sure the children will settle well into their first year at school. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask one of the team.

Super Learning Day!

Friday was our Maths Super Learning Day! We had lots of fun maths related activities going on throughout the day. The children worked in small teams to figure out problems and play games. In RRH the children really enjoyed swapping activities, everyone was engaged in what they were doing. It was exciting that parents were invited at the end of the day and the children thrived when showing them what they had done. Here are a few pictures from the day.































What's hiding underneath...

The children in RRH were busy writing last week. Some children did a lift the flap guessing game. They had to describe a minibeast for their friends to guess what it was. Then they wrote their clues and drew pictures of it. See if you can guess what they are...



Here are the answers!
 A bee!

 A spider!

A worm!


Other children worked as a group and thought of different ways to describe a snail!



Some children chose a minibeast to write about, they used the picture to help them think of clues!

3D Shape Junk Modelling


Reception have been learning all about 3D shapes. We have learnt what a cube, cylinder, pyramid, sphere, cuboid, prism and a cone all look like and how many faces and corners these shapes have. We made models using junk modelling materials and were able to name some of the 3D shapes that we used to construct our models. Aren't we clever?
