Welcome to Reception (1).png

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.

 

Literacy:

We have labelled a picture of Leaf Man, trying hard to form our letters correctly and use our phonic knowledge of cvc words and initial sounds.

Maths:

We have been focusing on number 5 this week. We know that:

Four and another one is five.

One and four is five .

Five is four and one.

Five is more than one/two/three/four.

One/two/three/four is fewer than five.

We looked at ways to represent number 5 and created a square garden in Numberland.

 

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 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.

 

Show and Tell

Thankyou for all the wonderful Leaf Man pictures and the children have loved sharing the stories of the adventures they have had!

 

We had a fabulous time taking part in the obstacle course to help raise money for Philip North Harvest Appeal

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.​
