Dear Families,

Our final week of our learning theme "Contrasting Countries". This week we made posters to inform people how to save water. We learnt why water is important and ways we can save water. Thank you for all your generous donations for our Charity Dress Up Day on Thursday! We have painted our clay pots and created our own safari animal number lines! We also explored clean and dirty water. In maths, we learnt about doubling and continued to explore 3D shapes in the environment. Thank you to those families who joined us for our Maths Family Friday session.  Please make sure you are reading with your child regularly and encouraging your child to practise reading their RWI books to you. Remember to return them on Tuesday next week due to school closure!

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!
