The children in Reception LT @RF have had a fantastic start to our school year.  They have been busy trying out their independent learning skills. 
The children enjoyed using their phonics skills to build and blend words with the sounds we know really well, writing names and labels.
In art we are learning to mix colours, the children used the primary colours and the story Mouse Paint to find out how to make secondary colours. As part of learning about ourselves we have read The Colours of Us. The children have been drawing portraits, then painting them by mixing skin tones with red, yellow, black and white paint.
In maths the children have explored making repeating patterns around the environment, we have also learnt about repeating patterns in music.
