Reception Blog 25th September 2026

Date: 25th Sep 2026 @ 12:09pm

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the Reception Friday blog!

Each week you will find out what we have been doing in class, reminders and lots more!

Every Friday, the blog will be shared with the class to recap our learning.

We were so proud of all the children in Worship this morning. Thankyou to the friends and family who were able to come and see them put their school pebble in the bowl.

Literacy:

This week we have shared the story of Little Red Hen.

We will be sequencing the story and talking about the characters next week.

Maths:

We have been focusing on number 1. We know that 1 is the first number when counting and we have introduced 'Numberland' and found ways to represent number 1.

Phonic Meeting

Thankyou to everyone who came to our Phonics Meeting for parents on Monday 21st September at 5.30pm in the Reception classroom.

I hope you found it useful, if you have any questions please do ask.

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. We are also looking carefully at forming our letters correctly in class. Please remind your child to say the rhyme for each letter to help them when they are writing at home.

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

For Show and Tell next week children can bring in items that link to Autumn.

Jofli is an important member of our class and we sing his song each week on Friday afternoon before he chooses who he will go home with.

You can listen to the song using this link-

Reminders

- Please make sure hair is tied up for PE (Friday).

- Please help your child to be as independent as possible when putting their coats on and getting dressed/undressed for PE.

- Please ensure all your child's clothes are named.

End of Day Routine

Children will only be allowed to go home with adults listed on the safeguarding form, unless school has been contacted to state otherwise.
Children will be dismissed one at a time. We kindly request that all children are dismissed prior to teachers/ Teaching Assistants being approached by parents.
Should any child need to come back into the classroom, we will allow them back into the room after all of the children have been dismissed.

Have a lovely weekend,

From

The Reception Team.
