He was in Reception and has now moved to my school in year 1. Although he can write a couple of sentences his letter formations are poor. I explained to her that he needs to write bigger in order to form his shapes better because he has been introduced to a formal way of writing too soon.

hi I am about to inherit a small outdoor area for my reception class, its a small long narrow section, without space for bikes / scooters (although there is a separate session where they can use these in the playground).. although its small, it has a paved area, a grassy bit which could have a digging area, and a covered section... i am really looking for inspiration, does anyone have any good suggestions for this area, or have photos of their areas that they could share.... i am really looking forward to having it, now i just want to make sure i make the best use of it possible... look forward to hearing from you thank you bb

Hi ya everyone I'm just wondering if anyone does a letter of the week in their reception class and how they organise it. Do you base all the areas of learning around that letter e.g h, hula hoops, height, hundred, hippos, Hungary,hats, handprints. Aswell as doing a letter of the week do you then do other topics. I'm new to reception, so would appreciate your comments and thoughts on this. Thank you Laura
