Reception Newsletter 17.01.20
This week
In phonics we have been looking at all the Phase 2 tricky words and most children can recognise all of these now! Please use the bookmark in your child’s reading book to reinforce this learning. Some children are moving onto Phase 3 words-so thanks for your support with these.
We have looked at x,y and z as phonics sounds.
In maths, we have continued thinking about one more and one less and have been doing various challenges around this learning.
We did a rabbit dance in PE and have enjoyed our new “Travel Agents” role-play area.
Next week
We will look at qu (the last alphabet letter sound) and start to record calculations involving addition and subtraction. We will also explore the concept of zero in maths.
As part of our RE learning, we are thinking about Special Books this term. Please could your child bring in a book that is special to them (it can be anything at all) on WEDNESDAY next week so that they can talk about it with the class. It doesn’t have to be a story book to be read-any book that is special to them and that they can talk about is fine. Thank you.
Notices
- Pizza express trip. The email about this trip will be sent out on Monday. Apologies for the delay-we have been finalising the transport arrangements. The cost will be £5 due by the end of January.
- I would like to start “Share a story” sessions at the end of the day this term, as it worked really well last year. This is where a parent comes in to read a story to the class. It can be one that fits in with our topic, maybe one in another language, or just any story special to you. If you would like to do this, we can set aside any day at 2.50, so just let me know when you are available. Thank you.
Thank you for all your support.
Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or queries: ag@stjohnsprimary.org
