Berridge Infants School has one open plan reception class and the other in a classroom. This programme focuses on a child from each class. Jade's day starts with maths, today outdoors, and goes on a shape hunt. Meanwhile, Shoaib has a whole class CVC words activity followed by a focus activity on the same theme. Jade spends the majority of the free flow play session in the role play. It's set in a pet shop. Jo models the role of a customer phoning the shop and placing an order. Jade is fascinated by writing dog in the shop notebook. She plays both customer and shop keeper. Shoaib spends time on the computer before joining the teaching assistant outside. Today, they are digging up carrots they have planted. He is fascinated when he digs them up and clearly surprised and motivated by his discovery. Jade consolidates her mathematical experience choosing to play with the shapes outside.This programme is analysed in the follow-up episode Reception 2
