OAK 2023 - 2024
Welcome to Oak Class - Reception
We are a very creative, happy and enthusiastic class. We really enjoy designing and making and expressing ourselves through role play. In Oak class we are taught by Miss Smith and our teaching assistant Mrs Jackson.
Our interests are really important and our teachers listen to us and enjoy finding out what we are interested in. Then they plan lots of exciting experiences and activities for us based on the things that we like.
We are learning to be self-confident, resilient and independent. We are keen to ask for things that we need help with but aren't afraid to give new challenges a try. We are forming good relationships with others and are learning to be ready, respectful and safe. We are trying our best to listen really well.
We work with numbers up to ten and we focus on a one number at a time. We introduce each number with a story and link all aspects of maths to our focus number. We have Read Write Inc. sessions every day and we are starting to use the sounds that we have learnt to help us to read and write words on our own.
Our parents are really involved in our learning. They are sent a weekly newsletter, and have been given information about our phonics programme. Our parents are encouraged to read with us regularly so that we become fluent with the books that we are given to read. Our learning journeys are online on a program called Tapestry – that means that our grown-ups can read all about the things that we do at school each day, and they can even add to our learning journey themselves so that our teachers can see all of the great learning that goes on at home!
We are creative and inquisitive learners - we are starting our journey through school with a smile.
