Welcome to Reception!

Our class teacher is Miss Banglawala and our teaching assistants are Mrs Blunt and Mrs Hargreaves!

Spring Term 1

This term our topic is Infinity and Beyond and is themed around Space.

We will be looking closely at the stories Whatever Next! Aliens love Underpants and The Way Back Home. We will recap Phase 2 in phonics and move onto Phase 3 - please can I encourage children read as much as possible at home focussing on their words which can be found in the homework books.

Please have a look at The Curriculum Overview (files to download at the bottom of the page) to find out what we will be learning about over the next 6 weeks.

Homework

Each half term Reception receive a homework grid. There are a variety of activities to have a go at on the grid. We understand that family life is busy therefore it is not essential that all of these activities are completed, we do ask that your child aims to complete some of the activities to reinforce their learning across the curriculum and allows children to showcase their creative skills.

Home Reading

Your child's reading book will be changed three times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). Please read each book with your child then encourage them to have a go independently, talk about the story with them and ask questions to develop comprehension skills.

We suggest you read for 10 minutes with your child each night as this is more effective than trying to encourage them to read at length after a tiring day in school. It doesn't always have to be a book from school, why not allow children to select a book of their own choice.

P.E.

Reception have a double P.E. session every Thursday morning. Please can you ensure children have a full P.E. kit that is labelled in school.

Cool Milk

If you would like your child to have milk you will need to register them on the cool milk website. Once your child has tunred 5 if you wish for them to continue having milk it is important you re register and pay the required termly fee.
