A very warm welcome to Robin Class
Reception Class 2024
We would like to welcome our newest Robins to Pen Mill School. The children are settling into the routines well and are enjoying exploring all of their new areas. Phonics teaching has already begun with Phase 1 and the children are keen to show off their new skills. The children are looking forward to wearing their Welly Boots for Forest School. Topic webs have been sent home with the children to keep you updated with their learning journey. Please ensure that you can log into Tapestry so that you can share your child's learning with them.
As always if you need any help with anything please come and see Mrs Cundy/Miss Foster or a member of the team. We will
happily help no matter how big or small.
Wren and Robin Class
Our topic this term is ‘Ourselves’ which is all about the children forming friendships and getting to know each other, talking about their families and finding out how our bodies work. It has been lovely to watch the children develop old and new friendships through playing and working together.
Our stories so far ‘Owl babies’ and ‘Monkey Puzzle’ have supported our discussions about their families and what they were like as a baby. We have loved looking at the children's baby photos showing how much they have changed in terms of the way they look and the things they are able to do now that they couldn't when they were babies.

Our scarf workshop with Harold the Giraffe was great because the children found out lots about internal organs and how their bodies work in a fun and interactive way.
Many of the children in reception have said that they would like to become police officers when they grow up and what a lovely surprise for them this week when the police arrived to talk to the children about some of the equipment they might use and the work they must do. The blue flashing lights and sirens added to the excitement!

The children are developing a good understanding of numbers to 5 and are finding out about the vocabulary ‘more than’, ‘fewer than’ and ‘equal to’. They have enjoyed investigating what numbers up to 5 are made from. For example, 2 and another 2 makes 4.
In phonics the children have been working hard to remember all the sounds that we have taught them so far. They are enjoying playing Fred talk games. The children are remembering to say the letter rhymes as they write to help them remember how to form the letters correctly.
The children are excited to be taking part in the harvest church service. We have taken the children into the church to show them what it will be like and practiced our songs that they will be performing. This service always feels like a lovely way to bring the school together and show the children they are part of something quite special.
The progress the children are making is fantastic. Thank you for all your support with your child’s reading and letter formation. You make a big difference to the progress they make.
We will be looking closely at the following texts:
