Supertato to the Rescue

2nd October 2025A Aldcroft

For the past two weeks our focus story has been Supertato!
We have retold key features of the story as well acted it out for our class assembly. We then designed and labelled our own super vegetable. We used our designs to create the super vegetable!

Fabulous Phonics

18th September 2025A Aldcroft

Reception has had a fantastic start to phonics this year! The children have been learning the sounds s, a, t, and p. They’ve been practising recognising and hearing these sounds at the start of a word.

In addition to listening for these sounds, the children have also been sorting objects based on their initial sounds.

These early phonics skills are helping to build confidence in their language development and laying the groundwork for future reading success.

Hardwick Park

A fantastic day at Hardwick Park

We spent the morning being pirates and using natural resources to create a pirate ship, followed by cleaning the ocean and then a treasure hunt!

In the afternoon we read a lovely story all about very naughty pirates who didn’t know how to look after our world! We learnt all about how to keep our planet safe and clean from litter!

3D shapes

11th June 2025A Aldcroft

This week we have been learning all about 3D shapes and their properties. We know that 3D shapes are SOLID, in comparison to 2D shapes which are FLAT. We know that 3D shapes are everywhere in our world and we even went on a hunt to spot 3D shapes. We then sorted real life objects into the correct shape and discussed some facts we know about the shapes.

Class 2

Morning Challenge

5th June 2025A Aldcroft

Our new morning challenge when we first come into school is to use our wonderful imaginations to think of a sentence to match the picture. We discuss it with our friends and ask our friends some interesting questions to help our friends extend their thinking.
I.e. what do you see? How do you think they are feeling and why? What do you think will happen next?

Look at our amazing sentences, developing our language and writing skills ✨✨✨✨
