A Warm Welcome to Reception Class

Welcome to Appley Bridge All Saints' CE Reception Class.  Our teacher is Mrs Green and our teaching assistants are Mrs MacFarlin, Mrs Brannon and Miss Hooper.  We will be having fun whilst learning lots during the year and you will find photos of what we get up to posted here and on Twitter  (#ABASYR) as we go along.

Our First Week

Our Reception children have had a brilliant first week and have tried really hard with everything they have done.  Here  are just a few of the things we have been up to.

Autumn Fun

During our first half term in Reception, we had lots of fun learning about so many different things. We learned about ourselves and how we are all different and special.  We learned all about autumn in the forest and around school.  Sometimes we had fun getting muddy and making mud paintings and sometimes we had our snack in the forest.  We collected lots of colourful leaves and made autumn hedgehogs.   We learned about harvest and where our food comes from and we collected lots of things from the hedgerows that animals might collect for food during the winter.  We sorted and counted what we collected too.  We made bread and ate it, and looked at some fruits we hadn’t seen before and we even got to taste the fruits – we thought they were yummy, tasty, juicy, sweet, tangy and crunchy.  We made a scarecrow for the display in our church and even did some sewing on his face.  We called him Mr Straw after the scarecrow in the story ‘The Scarecrow’s Secret’.  We had fun with our phonics and number work too.  Here are some photos to give you a taster of some of the things we got up to in our first half term.
