Weekly Update Thursday 28th March 2024

Summary of this week:

We have enjoyed sharing our experiences about Easter this week and learning a little about the Easter Story. 

 

On Wednesday morning we took advantage of the brief spell of sunshine and Mrs L built a fire to toast hot cross buns on. The children all devoured their Easter snack around the fire square and then enjoyed some Easter themed outdoor activities. Photographs are in the classroom windows for you to see. 

Each class filled their dojo jar and earned a class treat this week. The children were rightly proud of themselves! 

 

Wishing everyone a very Happy Easter break! 

Our learning next week:

Maths: In Maths we will be learning about doubles. 

 

Literacy: We are going to be learning about growing and changing over time, in relation to ourselves, animals and plants. 

 

Phonics: We will practice reading and writing words using the phase 3 digraphs and trigraphs and learning to chunk to read and write longer words. 

 

Vocabulary: PE, swimming, changing, growing, changing, baby, adult 

 

Homework:

Maths:  Play a game of dominoes and look out for the doubles. Count the spots to find the total of the two numbers. 

 

Literacy: Look at family photographs together and talk about how the children have changed and grown over time. 

 

Vocabulary: See if the children remember any of the vocabulary about Spring as you are out and about over the holidays; buds, shoots, seeds, seedlings, daffodils, bluebells, primroses, crocuses and blossom. 

 

Notices & Reminders:

We would love to have a photo of the children as babies or toddlers as we start to learn about growth and change. If you could email one to our Reception email account (reception@eastwick.thpt.org.uk) we will be happy to print it out to use in the classrooms. If you could let us have these before term starts, we will be able to have them ready for the beginning of the week. Thank you!  

 

Our PE lessons will begin on Monday 15th April and continue each Monday afternoon. Please send the children in wearing their PE kit (white t shirt, shorts/joggers, sweatshirt and trainers). 

 

We are still in need of parent volunteers with a DBS for supporting the children’s swimming on Fridays. Please talk to your class teacher or contact the office if you might be able to help some Fridays. 

 

Swimming starts on Friday 19th April. Please remember to bring a coat even if the weather is warm as the children do feel the cold when they come out of the water. 

 

With best wishes, The Reception Team
