Here are the Pori Drwy Stori Rhymes, we will be using some of these and some others and will let you know on Twitter each week which rhymes we are focusing on. We will start next week with finding our which rhymes the children know.
Welcome back everyone!
It is lovely to see all the children back, it has been a delight to have a few days with smaller groups and we are getting to know your children. Over the next few weeks we will be carrying out out baseline assessments, these are nothing to worry about and will help us to plan the children's next steps in their learning. Please see the leaflet below for more information on life in Reception! We look forward to working with you,
Kind regards
Miss Alexander, Jacqui and Natalie
Hello everyone,
Here we are, your last week in Reception. What a strange second half of the year we have had but here we are, the last week of term. This is our last learning grid, it's a little bit different, something to do each day, a little job and a bit of fun to help Miss Glass get to know you. Looking forward to seeing some of you this week and the rest of you I can't wait to see you in September, you'll all have grown so much!!
Have a wonderful summer everyone, take care,
Lots of Love
Miss A xx
Hi Everyone!
I hope everyone has been able to see our back to school video on Twitter! We are very much looking forward to seeing some of you back. If you are not returning yet, don't worry we will continue to set learning activities for home and ring to see how you are. If you are coming to school please continue with the learning grid as we will be doing other things in school. Our next batch of activities is about Pirates! Our learning grid is below and also some resources. There is quite a lot to choose from! I hope you enjoy.
If you are coming back to school remember you need to bring snack, lunch and a drink even if you are usually school dinners. You will come into school through the office end and through the hall but we will be in the playground to meet you, see you soon!
Love Miss A xx

I look forward to hearing from you. Our next batch of activities will be online from June 15th and will be all about "Buses, bicycles and busy places!" I hope you're all well.

Hi Everyone! This weeks activities are all about wild animals and monkeys. There are games to play, things to make, stories to share, facts to find out and recipes and experiments to try! I hope you enjoy and I look forward to seeing your pictures! Remember to check hwb.gov.wales and go into google for education for your literacy and maths activities. If you've asked me to send it via email you will need to login to hwb, use Office365, then outlook to get your mail. Literacy and Maths will arrive Tuesday this week, not next week as next week is half term. If you have any problems finding any of the work or need some feedback on how your child is getting along then email me at Alexanderb4@hwbcymru.net
Take care everyone, lots of love, Miss A
Hello Everyone!
This week in our learning at home we are off to the farm! Please find the activities below. I am still uploading work to you via google classrooms (access through hwb) remember if you can't find it to email me at alexanderb4@hwbcymru.net and I will do my best to help. It's been great to see more of you on flipgrid and seesaw this week. It really is very simple to use, all you need is a device that can access internet and has a camera.
I hope you enjoy this week's activities! Keep in touch, lots of love Miss A xx
Welcome back to the Summer Term with a difference!
While things are a little different and we can't come to school I will be uploading learning activities to do at home and sending things to Google Classroom or your email if you can't access Google classrooms. I hope to use stories and things that you can find at home to base our learning on so the next two weeks will be about "The Great Pet Sale" by Mick Inkpen. Please follow the link below for the activities.
Please follow the "Guidance for Hwb" on the main "class pages" page to open your emails (Office365, then outlook) to access your Seesaw Code and to get into Google Classrooms where you should find some activities, this includes web links to activities, songs and stories and things to do at home.
Remember also to follow us on twitter at @GladstonePSCar1 if you have any trouble with access you can email me at alexanderb4@hwbcymru.net keep safe and keep well xxx
A little word about using the internet for learning
While we are learning in a different way I will be recommending a number of ‘website links’ for you to access with your children in order to support their learning or use as a starting point for our learning. I have looked at the links I cannot guarantee that they will run on all hardware/devices and at Gladstone Primary School we are not responsible for the content/method shown. Also please remember that the safest way for your children to access things online is with a grown up.
Thank you, stay safe online and off xx
Our Aim - Making independent learners and developing a love for learning!
Our grown ups in Reception are;
Miss Alexander – Class Teacher
Jaime and Jacqui – Learning Support Assistant
Other grown ups that work in the Foundation Phase are; Miss Glass (year 1) Miss Morgan (year 2) and Kerry, Nicola, Donna work as Learning Support.
Our Reception Class takes 30 children and we anticipate being a full class again this year.
Our aim in Reception is to build on children’s previous learning experiences and continue to develop independence. Over the course of the Reception year children will become independent learners. There will still be practical learning activities and the children will use the outdoor area for learning. Our children also have opportunities to use our Challenge Zone, this is an area used by Reception, Year One and Two. It provides us with additional space allowing opportunities for pupils to work in groups either on a focused task or using activities planned through pupil voice. Through accessing resources pupils develop independence and are encouraged to be creative in their learning and learn from other pupils.
In our Reception class pupils work in a variety of ways. They will experience whole class learning and children work in groups too. Much of the learning is practical and helps children to develop the skills, knowledge and understanding they will need to record their work. Children have opportunities to develop their own personal independent learning and are introduced to our "Learning Leader Challenges". These challenges are based on our current topic and skills we are developing, pupils are encouraged to suggest ideas for activities they can do all by themselves.
You will receive newsletters to update you on what topics and learning we are covering each term and you will be able to come into school to discuss your child’s progress. There will also be opportunities to come into school to see a class assembly, find out what we’ve done in project weeks and attend workshops to find out more about how you can support your child’s learning at home.
We look forward to working with you. If you have any questions or concerns at any time and need to speak to a member of staff please ask at hand over time and we can arrange a convenient time.
Do you have any ideas for this page? Why not let your Teacher know!
