Dear Families,

We have had a fantastic half term! We loved reading "Clean Up"  where we learned about  Jamaica and water pollution. The children have recently enjoyed exploring Houses and Homes where we learned about homes from the past and compared them to the present! We really enjoyed visiting the Museum Of Home trip. Thank you to all our parent volunteers for your support. Look out for more trips next half term! In maths, we have been exploring odd and even numbers. Next half term we will begin to learn about teen numbers. We are incredibly proud of the children's reading and writing progress so far! Please continue to read as much with your child as possible! A reminder that school is closed next week for half term and we will open again on Tuesday 20th February due to a INSET day. 

Wishing you a lovely half term break!

Best wishes,

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!
