Chicks 1
Welcome to Chicks 1
We’re delighted to have you here on our dedicated Chicks 1 page, where you can stay up-to-date with your child’s weekly learning journey. Each week, we’ll share information about the exciting activities and themes we’re exploring in class, along with the key skills and concepts your child will be developing.
This page is designed to keep you informed and involved, offering insights into what your child is experiencing in Reception. We hope you find this page helpful as we work together to support your child’s learning adventure.

Week 5
Kinetic letters
Today the children made wands to help develop their understanding of up, down, slide and flick. They used joining materials to make their own wands.
Week 4
In Chicks 1 this week we have been learning about people who help us at school and the community. The children painted portraits of people who help us in school.
Week 3
In Mathematics this week the children have been learning to sort objects. They worked really hard at selecting their own way to sort, e.g. by colour or size.
Week 2: Exploring Colour and Texture.
In Chicks 1 this week we have been learning to explore paints using our hands. We named the primary colours and then mixed paints together with our hands to make a new colour.
Week 1: Welcome to Reception!
The children have had a great first week in Chicks 1. The children have begun to learn the school expectations of 'We are Kind, 'We are Honest' and 'We Work Hard.'
We have been working really hard at remembering how to ‘ choose it, use it and put it away’.
