Rec M 2016 - 2017

Spring Term 2017

Welcome back Reception, we hope you had a lovely half term.

This half term one of our topics will be 'Growth'.

In Literacy the children will be writing about plants. We will also be looking at how plants grow and what we need to help them grow. In Maths we will be practising our number bonds and number formation.

This half term we have also had World book week.

In Literacy the children looked at the story ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’. The children had lots of fun looking for Goldilocks after she visited reception and spilt all of her porridge. The children have made lots of posters to describe what Goldilocks looks like.

In Maths we will be looking at adding and subtracting as well as developing our skills of telling the time. We will also be looking at ordering numbers and counting in 10s, 5s and 2s.

In R.E the children will be learning all about forgiveness. The children will be learning all about the importance of forgiveness and what it means to forgive someone.

In Expressive Arts and Designs we will be using junk modelling to make our own chair and exploring colours and textures. In Understanding the World we will be looking at how plants grow. This will include research on the Ipads and also practical activities such as planting our own seeds.

The children have P.E every Friday. Please ensure that they have a white t-shirt, black shorts or jogging bottoms and pumps or trainers in a bag labelled with their name on it.

It is also important that your child has their name written in all items of school clothing including their coat. It would also help us a great deal of items such as gloves, hats and scarves were also labelled with your child’s name.

If you have any questions please come and see a member of staff in Reception. We are always happy to talk to you in the morning or at the end of the day when the children have been dismissed.

Miss Harvey, Miss Marney, Mrs Howarth, Mrs May and Miss Saleem.
