It's been a busy week in Reception. The children have made some wonderful buildings in the block area and used the loose parts to enhance their designs. They have used the Multilink cubes to support their understanding of number patterns and have enjoyed using the number tiles to order numbers all the way to 24.

My Happy Mind in Reception, by Mrs Bailey

Date: 31st Oct 2023 @ 3:58pm

Congratulations to everyone in our Reception class today as they received their first My Happy Mind certificate for completing the first module where we learnt all about the brain.

Today we started the second module called Celebrate and learnt about our superhero powers (our character strengths). We have been practising showing kindness and love to each other today. We learnt that we all have different character strengths and this is something to celebrate. This makes us all unique and special.

We have a new tool of the week in our Zones of Regulation and have been practising the strategy of smiling at other people to help us and others.

We enjoyed sharing poems by Michael Rosen. We especially enjoyed Bendy Man and changed the word 'man' to lots of other words that rhyme. We also discovered we have some bendy children in our class, so we tried to think of some words to rhyme with their names too.
