Dear Families,

This week we have learnt about Georgie’s village and how it is different to the city we live in. We were very creative, sculpting our own clay pots, making instruments and hand printing safari animals! On Friday, we celebrated World Book Day. We came into school dressed as favourite book characters, completed activities based on the story Meet The Oceans! We had so much fun reading, sharing favourite stories and creating our own book marks and stories! We had lots of special adults reading to the children and even had a fashion show and parade. What a fun day celebrating reading! In maths, we continued to look at teen numbers to 20.  We have also enjoyed our music lessons with Ms Marshall. We have sent home new Reading Book wallets and journal which the children need to return to school every Wednesday. Please read with your child and let them practise their RWI reading book too. Have a lovely weekend. 

Best wishes from the Reception Team

Click on the picture below to listen to the story with your child, then ask them the suggested questions.

We have learnt the words below this week. Can you ask your child the suggested questions to encourage them to use the words in a sentence?

Practise the sounds we have learnt this week with your child by clicking on the pictures below. The more opportunities they have to see, hear and say the sounds, the more likely they are to stick. The videos will teach you too! Then practise learning to blend with Fred talk.

Try out one or both of these activities with your child this weekend. Please send us any photos you take or bring your child's learning into school - we'd love to see them!
