It has been a busy couple of weeks in the reception rooms. It has been great to meet our little receptions and watch how their independence has grown since the start of the year. In Room 10, the children have started working with their mentor text, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. They use the text to build their oral language skills, inquire into concepts of print and sentence structure (such as finger spaces), and to practice their sounding out and blending.
