Reception Newsletter 24.01.20
This week
We have had a really busy week thinking about the Chinese New Year.
We have been making lanterns, we did a dragon dance and made money wallets.
Some children have been practising their writing by making books and in maths we have been looking at calculating within 5.
Thank you to all those children who brought in their special books as part of our RE learning. It was lovely to see such a range and they enjoyed sharing them with their friends.
We have finished learning all the alphabet letters and have been practising writing words and sentences.
Next week
We will start to explore two letters making a new sound (a digraph) e.g. ch and sh.
We will learn the story of the Chinese New Year and why the years are named after animals.
