A typical day in Reception Class…

 

A day in Reception Class is never the same as the one before, but we have routines which we learn to help us become independent learners. 

 

 

8.45am – We come into school with our book bags and water bottles. We hang up our coats and wash our hands.

 

9am – We sit on the carpet for the register and talk through the visual timetable of the day.

 

9.10am – Phonics. We learn new letters and sounds through songs and stories.

 

9.30am – Plan, Learn, Review. We choose our learning inside the classroom and in the outdoor area. We also have a Phonics activity of the day.

 

10.30am – Play time on the playground.

 

10.45am – We wash our hands and have snack time. Every day we have one piece of fruit from school.

 

11.00am – Maths. We learn lots of counting skills and practice writing numbers.

 

11.20am – Plan, Learn, Review. We choose our learning inside the classroom and in the outdoor area. We also have a Maths activity of the day.
