Dear Families,

In the second week of our topic, contrasting countries, we learnt about water pollution. We learnt about the effect humans have on the sea and sea life creatures through our book - Clean Up! We created posters to tell people how to reduce their water pollution. We also made our very own craft jelly fish and explored cleaning rubbish from the sea. We completed our own water tray clean up and made lovely turtles with playdough. We even had a special visit from Ms Archer's pet turtle! In maths, we practiced adding to 10 using a part whole model, ten frame and number line. We are investigating recyclying next week, so please bring in any spare materials such as egg cartons, plastic bottles and cardboard! We hope you can all join us for our reading tea next Friday at 3.10pm. 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!
