Dear Families,

Welcome back! We hope you have had a lovely Easter break.  Thank you for all your support over the holidays with the children's reading and home learning. We have had a fantastic week back to school in the sunshine. This week we have learnt about the Islamic festival of Eid. We learnt how Muslims complete Ramadan by fasting, praying and reflecting for a month and then celebrate on the next crescent moon for Eid. It is a big celebration with family, food and decorations such as mehndi hand designs. We wrote a fact file about Ramadan and enjoyed creating our own 2D shape mosques and creating star and moon decorations. In maths, we explored odd and even numbers and ordered them on number line! A friendly reminder that all children should have a spare change of clothes in their bags/on their peg at all times.

Next week, please join us on Wednesday for Reception  Come Dine With Me and Family Friday! 

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 reading the green words. Can you write any?

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!
