Reception Friday Blog 28th June 2024
Date: 19th Jun 2024 @ 7:50pm
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!

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)
We have also enjoyed water challenges in the lovely sunshine we have had this week.
As a class we have talked about 'Sun Safety' and the importance of keeping safe when playing out in the Sun.

Sports Day
Sports Day is next Tuesday 3rd July:
1:15pm Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
2:15pm Years 3-6
Children can come to school ready for sports day in their team sporty clothes (a team coloured t-shirt: Air- Yellow, Earth – Green, Fire – Red, Water – Blue, black shorts and trainers). Please also ensure children have a water bottle and that sun cream is applied before they come to school. Our PTFA are running a tuck shop and refreshments from 2pm.
Children are able to leave with parents after they have finished their races: if you would like to pick your child up, please do so by going round to the playground and collecting them from their classroom door.
Please could we ask that you don’t encourage younger siblings to play on St Mary’s outside play equipment during our Sports Day – thank you!
If we have to cancel due to bad weather, we will text all parents on the day as early as possible. Our reserve Sports Day in this case would be Wednesday 10th July. We look forward to having you with us!

Kath from Euxton library came to school this week to tell the children about the Summer reading challenge. The challenge is for children to read five books during the summer, and complete a number of challenges. By completing these challenges they'll unlock prizes along the way as well as the chance to be entered into a prize draw for a free Lego kit. All participating children will be able to visit one of Lancashire's museums for free with an adult, as well as regular activities taking place in all libraries in Lancashire. The challenge will launch on Saturday 6th July and runs until the end of September. Please go to see Kath at Euxton library if you would like to register and take part.
Have a fantastic weekend!
The Reception team.
