Week ending: Friday 15th March 2024
Dear Families,
The first week of our new topic of the Spring. We investigated the weather and conducted our own weather report. We also made weather dials and wind streamers! In Maths, we have been exploring sharing and halving. We practised finding half of a number by sharing into 2 groups. We learnt that only even numbers can be halved! Please remember to return book bags with both books into school every Monday so they can be checked or changed. We will be sending our sound of the day practice home too. If the books are not returned, we will not be able to swap them or hand anymore out. Please ensure your child is practising their reading with you everyday!
We had a super fun Friday celebrating Red Nose Day. The children looked fantastic in their pyjamas!
Have a lovely weekend.
Best wishes,
The Reception Team

Our Words this week
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?
Our Maths Learning this week
This week, we have been learning how to find half. You have to share the amount into 2 equal groups. You must share 1 at a time to make sure the amount is the same and fair. "One for me, one for my partner..." We can only share even numbers!
"Half of 6 is 3."
Can you share odd numbers? Why not?
"Half of 4 is 2"
Our Phonics Learning this week
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.
