Weekly Update - Friday 4th July 2025

Summary of this week:

We have been busy editing our stories of 'A new home for a pirate’ and between us all have thought of lots of exciting ideas to change the characters! We let our imaginations run wild and it has been lots of fun writing and telling the stories!

It has been a hot couple of days, and we have really embraced our water play. We have seen lots of fantastic water tubes and channels demonstrating some brilliant teamwork and scientific thinking.

We also were so proud of Team Reception for being superstars in their sports day this week. It was so lovely to see them enjoying themselves and the activities on offer.

Our learning after half term:

Maths

We will be exploring some of our favourite number block episodes and learn about ‘bigger numbers’

Literacy We will be getting ready for our end of year ‘beach day’. We will be reading seaside stories, writing invitations and thank you letters to some of the people who have helped us this year.
Phonics

Next week we will be having our final phonics assessment.

Notices & Reminders:

During the next couple of weeks, we will be starting to send home any waterproofs and wellies. If your child has grown out of any and you no longer need them, please feel free to donate them back to us as we would love them as spares.

Please remember hats and water bottles each day. Thank you.
