Reception Friday Blog 7th June 2024

Dear parents,

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 started our new topic 'Marvellous Mini-Beasts and Animals' (please find the topic overview on our class page).

We have been reading 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. We have talked about the life cyle of a caterpillar and retold the story independently in our writing. We have enjoyed using collage materials, paint and glue to create our own caterpillars. Maths has been very exciting this week as we have used a new tool to help us called a 'Rekenrek'. Ask your child if they can tell you what they have been doing with it.

Look in the gallery on our class page for some pictures of our learning.

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.

 

Next week....

We will begin to learn all about Bees.
