What a very fast and busy week!

This week we have starting learning about Nocturnal animals, we have been listening to stories, drawing pictures and tracing bats, foxes, badgers, hedgehogs and owls.

We have also been looking at the differences between 'letter sounds', 'words' and 'sentences'. By the end of the week, the children have been making their own fantastic sentences including 'words' from their tricky word lists! Bendigedig

At home this weekend, could you please practise writing the letters s, a, t and i.

Have a lovely weekend!

I would like to congratulate everyone on our 'Singathon' last week, 20 songs in a row is a fantastic achievement! Thank you to everyone who sponsored your child too, it is very much appreciated.

This week we have been thanking God for our special talents e.g. 'Thank you God for making me good at football'; 'Thank you God for making me good at getting dressed by myself in the mornings'...

We are all working very hard on our 'tricky words', can I please remind you to bring the lists into school on your child's reading days. Please ask if you have forgotten your child's reading days.

Next week's target is to put on our coats independently and begin to try to zip up.

Have a good weekend

We're 4 weeks into our new school year and I'm very proud of how well everyone has settled into full time school!

This week we have been working very hard on our ICT skills creating pictures and writing our letter sounds on ipads.

Next week we will be recapping on our first set of letter sounds: s, a, t, i, p, n and beginning to a complete simple addition sums.

Could you please ensure your child's reading lists are in school on their specified day even if they have not completed them at home.

Thank you 

We've had another busy week in Reception.

We've been looking at the letter sounds t and i; ordering numbers 1 - 5; sequencing daily events and talking about people who are Special to us.

We also enjoyed our Church service, celebrating St. Matthew's church 146th birthday.

Could you please continue to practise writing the letters sounds s and a and look for objects beginning with the sounds t and i.

Next week we will be counting and recording numbers to at least 5; learning sounds p and n; trying to be more independent when changing for P.E.

Thank you for the spelling books being completed, could your child please use a pencil to write their letters.

Hope your child has had another good week!!

This week we have been working on the letter sounds 's' and 'a'

Home Task - Play 'I Spy...something beginning with s / a'

Look for the letters 's' and 'a' in the environment e.g. on shop signs.

Once your child has completed up to List 5, they will be given a reading book.
