Hello everybody and welcome to the first half of the Summer Term in Reception class. This term the children will be reading 'The Three Little Pigs' and exploring our theme of 'Where We Live'. We will be learning about how to follow the golden rules at school as well as how to play in our new classroom. We will learn to make new friends and manage those friendships over time. We will also read a range of fiction and non-fiction books including 'The Jolly Postman' and 'Homes around the world'. The children will continue to learn new sounds and will read books regularly in their phonics groups. Please continue to read with your children at home. In Maths we will be learning about numbers to 20. We will then move on to doubling and sharing. The children will continue to have the chance to participate in exciting Forest School activities such as minibeast hunting and creating bug habitats in our large outdoor area - don't forget your wellies!

Please keep checking your child's Dojo account for any messages that we might send you about the learning taking place in school.

We look forward to continuing our exciting learning adventure in Reception Class, watching your children grow and develop during their time with us. 

Miss Smith

Parent Notices:

• If you have not already activated your Dojo account, please do so as soon as possible! Dojo is a great way to communicate with your teacher and find out what is happening in school.   In addition, home learning challenges may be posted on Dojo to encourage and extend your child's learning at home. If you need assistance, please  ask on the gate or phone us at the front office. 
• Remember to send a pair of labelled wellies with your child for Forest School on Wednesday. If you have any old wellies that don't fit anymore we will happily take donations for children who forget theirs or do not have any!
• If you choose to opt out of Religious Education, please send in an activity for your child to complete in its place. This can be related to literacy, maths, or another topic to  enrich  your child's learning  experience. 
• Remember to read with your child each night and sign the yellow Reading Record when we start to send books home. 

• Reading with your child at home is so important in their early stages of development. We ask that children bring in their yellow books and reading books on the dates stated in their reading record.
