Reception Blog 09/05/2025

Dear parents,

Welcome to the Reception Friday blog!

Please see the class page for the curriculum overview.

 

Literacy:

We have continued learning about the characters and retold the story using the story sticks we made. We then created an alternative ending to the story.

 

 

 

 

Maths:

We have been learning about sharing into equal groups and also talked about odd and even numbers.

 

 

 

 

 

VE Day Celebrations.

We had a fabulous time! Please see photos on Seesaw and the Gallery section of the website.

 

 

 

Phonics Homework

Please find the weekly sheets for this half term in the files section at the bottom of this blog.  Use the sheet however it works for you. Some people may want to print it out or just use the information to say the phoneme, write the grapheme and play games thinking about things that start with that sound. 

Please continue to practise all of the tricky words. Thank you!

Show and Tell

 The children can practise sharing an amount of something (toys, counters etc) with someone. After sharing it they can decide whether the original number is an odd or even number (see photos from our maths work this week). Please send in a photo or picture they have drawn to share with their friends.

 

Reading Books

As we are now in the Summer term please can you try and spend a little time every night to listen to your child reading their reading book. This will really help them consolidate their phonic knowledge and practise recognising and reading tricky words. We change the reading books every Monday and Thursday.

 

Library Books

Library books will be coming home tonight.

Please return by Wednesday each week ready to be changed on Friday.

 

Reminders

- Please make sure hair is tied up for PE (Tuesdays and Thursdays).

- Please help your child to be as independent as possible when getting dressed/undressed for PE.

- Please ensure all your child's clothes are named. Could you also check that you haven't ended up with anybody elses clothes as we still have a couple of cardigans missing!

- If your child needs to use lip balm could you please send it in in a named bag for the teachers to look after and oversee them putting it on.

- When the weather is hot please apply sun cream before school. Each child has a school sun hat and we continue to encourage them to drink lots of water.

 

Next week: Bring Yer Wellies: Wear comfortable clothes, trainers (no wellies needed!) and please put sun cream on before school. We will take extra sun cream to top up if needed.  Sports Day: We have been practising our races and can't wait to show you on Friday!

Have a lovely weekend, 

From

Ms Lucas, Mrs Critchley and Mrs Gifford.
