🌟 Our First Week in Reception E is Complete! 🌟
We did it! The children have completed their very first week in Reception, and what a fantastic week it has been! 💛😊
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS, we continued practising the alphabet and the sounds each letter makes with our phonics sound and word association song. 🎵🔡 The children are already becoming much more familiar with the song and are doing a wonderful job joining in with the sounds and words.
We then read the fun and silly story Fluffy Duck in the Tub 🦆🛁, which focuses on words containing the /u/ sound. The children really enjoyed the story and had lots of fun listening out for our focus sound! 👂📖✨
👨👩👧👦 English PBL – Our Families
This afternoon, we used the lovely family photographs that parents sent to us. Thank you so much for sharing them! 📸💕
After laminating the photographs to keep them safe, the children created their own beautiful frames to display them in. 🎨✨ Everyone was very proud to see their family photo inside their finished frame, and soon they will all be displayed together on our classroom wall as another special part of Reception E. 🏡💛
✏ Writing Baseline Assessment
We also completed our writing baseline assessment today. The children were given sentences containing all of the letters of the alphabet, in both capital and lowercase forms, giving us an opportunity to see their current handwriting and letter-formation skills at the very beginning of Reception. 🔠📝
The children worked very hard and did a fantastic job! This gives us a useful starting point as we begin developing their writing skills throughout the year. 🌱👏
💛 One Week Down!
It has been wonderful watching the children take their first steps into Reception this week. They have explored their new classroom, met their teachers, begun learning our routines, shown us what they can already do, and started becoming our new Reception E family. 🌈
We are incredibly proud of how well they have settled in and can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!
Have a wonderful and well-deserved weekend, everyone! ☀🌟😊
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好！🌹🌹
🌟今天我们一起共读温暖的绘本《猜猜我有多爱你》。故事里，小兔子用尽各种方式诉说自己的爱意：张开双臂、高高举起双手、奋力蹦跳，甚至把爱延伸到月亮那么遥远。兔妈妈也温柔地回应孩子，她的爱，比小兔子想象的还要绵长、还要辽阔。
🌟听完故事，孩子们纷纷打开心扉，大胆诉说自己对家人的爱。有的孩子说，我对妈妈的爱，从这里一直到太阳那么远；还有孩子说，我爱爸爸，像大象一样大。绘本为孩子们打开了表达爱的窗口，激发了天马行空的想象。课堂上，孩子们善于思考、乐于表达，既能认真倾听老师讲述，也愿意接纳同伴的分享，表现特别出色！
📝今日亲子小任务
请爸爸妈妈和宝贝模仿故事里的兔妈妈与兔宝宝，用语言、肢体动作，互相表达爱意。
中班孩子需要感受看得见、摸得着的爱，直白的话语、温暖的拥抱，都是传递爱意最好的方式。在幼儿园里，老师也会直接告诉孩子“我爱你”，用拥抱给予宝贝情感滋养❤。
转眼，充实的开学第一周圆满结束。本周暂不布置纸质作业，纸质作业将从下周开始发放。这个周末，建议大家多陪伴孩子，玩两个轻松的亲子小游戏：
1. 轮流数数游戏：家人围坐在一起，轮流进行顺数、倒数，数到30为终点，在互动中巩固数感。
2. 分发筷子小任务：吃饭前，请宝贝负责给全家人分发筷子，不提前给予提示，让孩子自主思考几个人对应几双筷子。在真实生活场景里，体会数数的用处与乐趣。当孩子产生疑问时，请积极回应，保护孩子的思考热情。
祝大家度过愉快温馨的周末！
