Our topic this week is ‘changing me’. We will be looking at how we have changed since we are babies and how we continue to grow and change. We will discuss what we can do now that we couldn’t do when we were babies and how we will learn new things as we get older and turn in to adults. We will be naming and learning the parts of the body. We will also be learning about our differences and identifying where were born and looking at a map to see the different countries that we were born in. Can your child tell you what they can do now that they couldn’t do when they first started school?

This week we have assessed the children’s phonics and therefore some children may change phonics groups from next week. We have seen fantastic progress! We are working so hard in phonics and this being shown off in their writing and reading. An extra well done for those children who are doing their online work and practising their reading book at home. Those children who are consistently completing their online homework and reading regularly are the children who are making the best progress. Please continue to read every night at home as this gives your child the best support in helping them to move forward with their phonics.

In Maths this week we will be learning about sharing and grouping. We will learn how to share into two groups and more. We will be using practical apparatus to see what equal and unequal looks like. Can your child share objects, sweets, toys equally between two or more people?

Thank you so much to all the parent’s who attended RMT’s assembly. This Wednesday the 14th June is RKMs assembly. Please join us if you can at 8.50 am.

There will be a letter going home this week about our ‘changing me ‘topic. Please can you provide a baby picture of your child with their name on the back.

The lovely weather is set to continue so please can you provide your child with a named sunhat and a water bottle each day. There are still a few children coming to school without a water bottle . Please provide water and not squash. Please can you also apply sun cream to your child before they come to school as we are unable to apply it on them. Many brands do an 8 hour cream which means your child doesn’t need to reapply it in school. Thanks for your support.

Have a great week.

The Reception Team

This week in phonics we are learning ccvc words. We will be practicing writing these and using them in a sentence. We will continue to revise all phase 3 sounds and tricky words by playing interactive games and using flashcards.

In Maths this week we are revising repeating patterns and comparing lengths. We are also continuing our work on addition and subtraction and numeral recognition to 20.

For our wider curriculum we are carrying on our theme of Summer and looking at summer safety.

Friday is our Ash end farm visit which we are all looking forward to! Please remember to pack a disposable lunch for your child with their name and class on. Children are expected to wear school uniform and will need a coat and can wear wellies if preferred. If it is forecast to be a hot day please put sun cream on your child before school.

Please remember to log in to your child’s Reading Wise account and read with them as much as you can! Even 10 minutes per day makes a huge difference to their reading progress.

Have a fabulous week!

The Reception team

This week in phonics we are continuing our work on phase 3 strategies and applying our knowledge to reading and writing. We will also practice our tricky words and play a variety of phonics games.

In maths this week we are introducing odd and even numbers. We will be playing games outside, creating pictures and securing our understanding of odd and even in a variety of different ways.

In our wider curriculum we are moving on to explore animal habitats and nocturnal and diurnal animals. We will be looking at how these animals have adapted to their habitat and how they differ from each other.

Have a fantastic week! The Reception team
