Reception Blog

For superhero themed curriculum day, Reception have been completing lots of different superhero missions this week as part of their superhero training! In literacy, we have been busy turning ourselves into superheroes. We designed our costumes and labelled them using adjectives, thought of different superhero names and superpowers that we would have, and coming up with some catch phrases. Lots of us have said that it was easy using our phonics skills in our writing – we are writing CVC words without any help from a grown up!

On curriculum day, we could teleport into the different Reception classrooms to complete the last part of our superhero training. There was maths training in one class, where we continued work on numbers 6, 7 and 8. We practised identifying pairs of the same numbers that were represented in different ways, for example the numeral 6 and 6 teddies. Later, we focussed on combining two groups together and then adding more.
In another class, there were lots of activities that worked on our explorative, investigative and reasoning skills. The third class challenged our literacy skills, focussing on reading and writing CVC words. In the final class, we had the chance to show off our creativity skills. Here, we had the opportunity to create different superhero accessories.
In the last part of our training, our physical fitness was put to the test. We were challenged to complete a superhero obstacle course set up in the outside area.
Most of us agreed that the creative class and physical training were our favourite parts of the superhero training.
