Class Updates
We wanted to let you know that, moving forward, class updates on the school website will take place on a half‑termly basis. At the end of each half term, you will be able to see a summary of the learning that has taken place, along with an insight into what is coming up next.
We hope this change helps to simplify communication, with the weekly Newsflash acting as your main “one‑stop shop” for key updates and information about school life and your child’s class.
Welcome to Reception
Our learning:
Maths: We will continue to develop subitising skills and start to understand when we can subitise and when we might need to use our counting skills.
Literacy: We will continue to focus on the story Peepo!’ by Janet and Alan Ahlberg as well as writing about our trip to The Rural Life Museum
Phonics: It is an assessment week in phonics.
PSED (Personal, Social, Emotional Development) Knowing how to make friends to stop ourselves from feeling lonely.
Vocabulary/ Makaton signs: past, present and future
Homework:
Please listen to the children read every day, even if it is just a couple of pages from their book. It really makes a difference!
Notices & Reminders:
Please remember to keep your child’s books and reading diaries in their bag each day.
Orange Class change their books on either Thursday or Friday
Yellow Class change their books on either Wednesday or Thursday.
If the children haven’t brought their books back, unfortunately we can’t give them the new one to take home which is always disappointing for them.
We hope this will be a useful link to the NHS website to help you understand when it is safe for children to come into school as well as those occasions when you may need to keep them at home.
