Dear Families,

This week we have been answering our curious question, 'What do you know about your favourite minibeast?' We have been very enthusiastic about hunting for minibeasts, using language to describe our favourite minibeast's features, habitats and diets and have been fascinated to learn fun facts about unusual minibeasts. The children have been busy recreating 'The Snail' by Henri Matisse, measuring worms and making symmetrical butterflies!

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.

Click on the picture below to listen to the song/rhyme with your child. Please practise every day.

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!

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 the see them!
