Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely restful break and are exciting for our time ahead together! We are thrilled to present Receptions curriculum newsletter for the first half of the summer term, where you can explore the incredible learning opportunities that await your children during this upcoming period.
Communication and Language
This half term to support and develop the children's communication skills, we will be retelling the story 'Goldilocks and The Three Bears' using story maps. We will be exploring alternative tales through the core text 'Goldilocks and Just the One Bear' and we will be using the core text to inspire our imagination, as we retell our own alternative tales.

Through the global theme of 'Peace and Conflict' we will be reflecting on Goldilocks' actions and use this to think about the choices we make. We will be learning that it is okay to make mistakes. We will also be learning about the consequences our actions have on ourselves and others and that sometimes, to rectify a mistake you must compromise.

We will be exploring traditional tales and alternative endings through the core text 'Goldilocks and Just the One Bear'. This book is a sequel to 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' and will inspire our imagination when we plan and write our own alternative tales.

Each week we will bring home a reading book linked to our phonic sessions and a story book to share with you to help develop our love of reading.

In Maths, we will be learning addition and subtraction to 10, focusing on numbers bonds and embedding them so that they are able to mentally recall addition facts to 10. Once secured, we will move onto doubling numbers up to 20. This will be done through activities such as the part-part-whole model and tens frames.

In Art, we will be creating 3D city scapes using junk modelling materials. We will plan our designs and carefully consider what materials to use. We will practice skills such as sticking, cutting and joining.

We will continue to develop a deeper understanding of the world around us and our curriculum learning from last term outside of the classroom through our weekly nature school sessions. We will also be observing the changes to our environment and the impact the planting and growing of our bee gardens from last term have had.
