Rec M 2020 - 2021

Welcome to our Reception Class page!

Welcome back to our last half term in Reception! We hope you had a lovely break and enjoyed making memories as a family, we love hearing about all of the wonderful things the children have been up to.

This half term our topic is … Superheroes! We will start the half term with the story Supertato, in this story an Evil Pea is on the loose, can we help catch him?! The children will be making their own traps, labelling them and also writing sentences about how they work!  We will then move onto There is no Dragon in this Story, where we might see characters that we recognise from some familiar stories.  

Our role play area has also been transformed into a hospital! The children are really enjoyed pretending to be doctors and nurses, we have been discussing how they are our real life superheroes!

In Maths we will recap 3D shapes and encourage the children to use language such as ‘vertices’ ‘faces’ and ‘edges’ to describe them. The children will also be working hard to solve word problems, including halving, sharing and doubling, using practical resources to help them.

Our RE topic is Friendship, we will be learning all about what makes a good friend, who are friends are and who Jesus’ friends were and what Jesus and his friends liked to do together.

We would like to again stress the importance of reading with your child at home, we can see the progress the children are making form reading at home, so please continue to allow your child to read their book to you or an older sibling.

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

Finally, we are ABSOLUTELY loving our outdoor area in this lovely weather, we will be uploading photos onto our gallery of this also to show you our fabulous learning. We have been doing a range of super activities, from transient art to role play. The children are learning so much whilst having fun.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Milburn.

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