Rec M 2020 - 2021

Welcome to our Reception Class page!

Welcome back to another busy and fun filled half term, we hope you hope you had a lovely break and made lots of memories together as a family.

This half term we will be learning all about animals, starting with farm animals and then moving onto the jungle! We will look at some non-fiction books to learn lots of interesting facts about the animals and have a go at making our own fact files; we will also look at a fiction book called Rumble in the Jungle and explore some rhyming words. We love listening to the children read, they are making great progress in recognising the letters, recalling the sounds they make and some children are also beginning to blend the sounds to read words! Please continue to read at home and write a short comment in your child’s reading record.

The children are making great progress in maths! We will continue to work hard to recognise numbers, count different objects and use language related to height and weight. We will also revisit addition and subtraction, with some fun games in our new outdoor area to help us!

This half term our RE topic is Special Times, this will include discussing our own special memories, the feeling associated with the memory, Jesus’ special times and thinking about why it is important to celebrate special times.

Our PE lessons will be on Monday and Fridays, please ensure your child has a full PE kit in school and each item is named.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Milburn.

Here is one of our favourite phonics songs - this helps us remember our new sounds.
