Blog for Friday 13^th September 2024

Wow! What a start to reception here at St Luke’s! We have explored all the different areas of the school, our activity filled classroom, our brand-new shiny toilets, the trim trail, playground and the library. We have loved listening to different stories during snack time and have already know our fruit groups and carpet spots.

In maths, we have been looking at the number 5. We have sung many songs such as ‘5 little ducks went out one day’, ‘5 little men in a saucer’ and ‘1, 2, 3, ,5. Once I caught a fish alive’.  We counted on our fingers up to 5 and even put on our ‘maths mastery hats’ to find different ways we could show 5 on our fingers. We realised we could do 4 + 1, 3 + 2 and a full hand!

In phonics, we have looked at the ‘s’ sound. We played ‘what’s in the box?’ and identified which objects started with the ‘s’ sound. We found that snake, scissors, string and even Miss O’Dea’s favourite Disney character (Stitch) starts with the ‘s’ sound. Some of us even tried to learn how to form the letter s on our whiteboards.
