Reception Friday Blog 21st June 2024
Date: 14th Jun 2024 @ 11:16am
Dear parents,
Thank you for your support with our new weekly blogs. It has been fantastic to hear the children talking about them in school this week. Every Friday the blog will be shared with the class to recap our learning and make them aware of their phonics homework and challenges for the following week. Moving to online homework has allowed us to become a more eco friendly school.
Welcome to the Reception Friday blog!
Each week you will find out what we have been doing in class.
Homework
Reading - Reading is one of the most important skills for children to master as it unlocks their imagination and allows them to access the rest of the curriculum. Please read with your child every night. We have challenged the children to read with their adult and get their reading record signed each night to recieve an extra orange lollystick towards our weekly lollystick challenges.
Phonics - Please find the Phonics homework sheets for this half term in the files below. The Yellow book no longer needs to be returned to School each week. As always any questions please ask!
Our learning this week in Reception
We have watched lots of information clips about bees on the whiteboard and read non fiction books. This has helped us to learn all about bees ready to write our fact files. We have worked hard and enjoyed completing our Lollystick Challenges.

We had lots of fun playing instruments in Music.
In Phonics we continue to practise our digraphs and trigraphs as well as reading and writing the tricky words. We are also practising reading longer words by sounding them out but also 'chunking' the sounds to help us read the word.
This week we have also been been making sure we are formimg all our letters correctly. Keep practising at home (Please visit the Little Wandle parent page via the link on our class page for more information)
