We have enjoyed our week together in school and the children have been amazing!

We are working with the children individually and observing them within provision to establish their starting points for learning. We have introduced some short carpet sessions of counting and circle time. Please look at our Seesaw app as we upload photos of the children and it will give you an insight into what they are doing. Please also have a look at our Class Page on the website, this has an overview of our topic 'Marvellous Me' for this half term.

 

Our Teams.

The children have been put into our school teams, Earth, Air, Fire and Water, I have sent the group photos on Seesaw of which team each child is in.

 

 

 

Phonic Meeting

 

 

Our Phonics Meeting for parents is on Monday 21st September at 5.30pm in the Reception classroom. Please come along to hear how we teach Phonics and what you can do at home to help your child. We look forward to seeing you!

 

 

We have sent home a discussion book for each child with their named reading record in a clear reading pack. Please share this with your child and talk about the pictures and what  could happen in the the story. Please sign the reading record book and share any comments for us to read. Please send the Reading Pack in each day and we will change the books on Tuesdays and Fridays.

As we begin to learn the Phase 2 sounds we will introduce books with decodable words for the children to practise reading.

Show and Tell

As mentioned on the topic overview we invite the children to bring in something that is topic related to show the class and tell us all about it. This can be brought in or can be sent as a photo via Seesaw.

Next week could we ask for a baby photograph from each child for show and tell, this will link in with our learning.

Many thanks.

 

Thankyou for your continued support and have a lovely weekend!
