Dear parents,

Welcome to the Reception Friday blog!

 

 

Please see the class page for the curriculum overview.

 

Literacy:

We have enjoyed reading stories to our friends and practising all of our digraphs, trigraphs and tricky words by writing sentences! 

 

 

 

 

 

Maths:

We have continued to explore odd and even numbers and practised number bonds to 5 and 10.

 

 

 

 

Courageous Advocacy: Water Walk
This year, our school council have been looking at ways we can save water as a school as well as 
helping charities such as Water Aid to deliver clean water to other countries. As part of this theme, 
the school council have organised a water walk on Wednesday 21st May. This will involve all 
children walking around our daily mile track whilst carrying containers of water. There has been a 
sponsorship form sent home with your child to raise money for Water Aid.

 

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 bring in their favourite story to show and then read it to Jofli bear in the reading area!

 

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.

 

We had a fabulous time on our trip, please see Seesaw for all of the photographs. Look after the Chives, we will be checking on their progress after half term!

Have a lovely weekend, 

From

Ms Lucas, Mrs Critchley and Mrs Gifford.
