Rec S 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Reception

Welcome back to another fun filled half term, we hope you hope you had a great break, making lots of memories together and are ready for another exciting half term in Reception!

This half term our topic is ‘Journeys’, we will start by learning about a winter journey in ‘One Winter’s day’, recognising the changes that happen in winter and learning new vocabulary such as ‘hibernation’. We will then move onto the story ‘The Naughty Bus’, before exploring in space in ‘Whatever Next’ and looking at some non-fiction books relating to the Moon. The children will be having lots of fun learning about Winter as we go on our half termly season walk.

In Maths we will be learning our number bonds in a variety of different ways to encourage the children to explore these practically. We will also begin to describe 3D shapes and notice them in our environment both indoors and outside.

This half term our RE topic is, ‘Why is the word God so important to Christians?’, we will be learning all about the creation story and how we can look after God’s world. The children will be busy painting God’s creations, writing prayers to thank God and starting a litter pick in our outdoor area to look after God’s world.

Our PE lessons are on Mondays and Fridays, please encourage your child to practise dressing themselves at home, this will really help them to become more independently and be able to dress themselves confidently for PE.

Please continue to encourage your child to use their phonics when reading at home, we are so impressed with how the children are doing.

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

Our PE lessons will be on Mondays and Fridays, please ensure your child has a full PE kit in school and all earrings are removed.

 Any questions - please do ask on drop off/pick up or contact the office.

Thank you for your continued support,

Miss Sheldon
