Dosbarthiadau Derbyn * Reception Classes

Welcome to the reception children's pages! We have two classes of reception children at present, and both are looking forward to a very busy term. This is Miss. Llewellyn's class page. Autumn term's theme is Teddy's Trip, and we will also be noting the changes the Autumn season brings to the world around us. Easter term's theme is the Farm and we learn about animals and their various homes, as well as looking at different types of houses. Summer's theme is People Who Help Us, and we will be going to visit our town to see some of the buildings and shops that play a part in our lives, and learning about the people who work there, as well as inviting others into class to talk about their work, and roles in society. Here is P.C.Jones, who regularly visits us to talk about the role of the Police in our society.
Here is our discovery corner, where we investigate lots of different things. During the Summer term, we researched Minibeasts, and kept an animal corner, with snails, worms, ants and caterpillars, which we watched grow and transform into beautiful butterflies!
The under fives visit Maesteg town many times during the year, and learn about all the buildings and the people who work there. There are lots of interesting shapes all around us in the town!
As part of our theme Homes last Easter term, we read the story of Bili the Frog, and learned about his and his friends' homes - the mouse, rabbit, bird, and snail.
We created a shoe shop in class to learn how to count and use money, and to develop other mathematical skills, and had lots of fun measuring each other's feet, and buying a suitable pair of shoes for our friends!
If you would like to help your child at home, there are shows available to view at the bottom of this page to consolidate thematic work.
