Dear Parents,

 

 

 

 

Please find the new topic overview on our Reception Class Page.

Our story this week has been 'and Tango makes Three' we talked about where penguins live, different families and feelings.

Literacy:

We wrote facts about Penguins.

Maths:

We have been learning about 'teens' numbers and we have used ten frames to help us.

 

 

This weeks lollystick challenges:

Our lollystick challenges have included making an igloo, exploring the World map and locating where the Polar animals live.

 

 

 

 

We had a great time over two afternoons this week on the balance bikes when Chorley Schools Sports Partnership came in. 

 

 

 

Phonics Homework

Please find the Phase 3 weekly sheets for this half term in the files section at the bottom of this blog. We have completed week 3 Spring 1 in class this week. 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 the new sounds each week with your child. 

Show and Tell

Thankyou for your continued support with this. Next week we will be learning about Chinese New Year and would like each child to share what they know or can find out about it to support our learning!

As always they can bring something in or send a photo via Seesaw.

 

 

Reading Books

 Please ensure they are sent in every day as we do have reading helpers who can also listen to child in School. As previously mentioned we will change these books every Tuesday and Thursday if you have signed the reading record book to say they have read.The ideal is a little time spent every night looking at the book together and enjoying it! 

 

 

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 practise zipping up their own coat, now the weather is getting colder and wetter.

- 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.

 

Date for your diary!

We are having a stay and play phonic session on Thursday 6th February, 2.00pm - 3.15pm. Come along to learn more about our phonic sessions with your child.

(One adult per child please.)

 

 

Have a lovely weekend, 

From

Ms Lucas, Mrs Critchley and Mrs Gifford.
