Reception Class

Hello Reception Class,

Happy Spring! This is an exciting half-term for us as the weather is getting sunnier and lots warmer too! We have some great things that we are learning about; minibeasts and superheroes!

We're going to be reading three super books in our Literacy learning - 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar (Miss Knox's favourite!), 'Superworm' and 'Nat Fantastic!' We can't wait for you to hear them! In our Maths learning we're going to start to use numbers 11-20, build models using 3D shapes and start to use stories to help us add and subtract. In Forest School we are going to be getting busy searching for minibeasts and creating our own bug habitats! I wonder what bugs you might find...

Don't forget to check our homelearning challenges on Tapestry and send us pictures of what you have been up to!

We look forward to a splendid start to our Summer term!

In partnership,

Miss Knox and Miss Smith

Parent Notices:

• If you have not already activated your Tapestry account, please do so as soon as possible! Tapestry is a great way to view your child's individual learning as well as get in touch with their teachers. In addition, home learning challenges are posted on Tapestry to encourage and extend your child's learning at home. If you need a code resent or 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 (Tuesday afternoon sessions) 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. We love reading the comments from parents about the children's reading at 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 every Monday and Thursday to allow us to change books when necessary. We ask that an adult signs the reading diary and it is handed in at least once per week.

Our Topics for Learning for the Summer Half-term are below. Check out our Home Learning Challenges on Tapestry to support and extend your child's learning at home!
