Key Information
In Reception, we plan and organise a range of activities which support physical development of both gross and fine motor skills within our daily continuous provision. We do not have set PE days. If we have a specialist PE input, we will let you know in advance so that your child can come into school in a PE kit for that day
You can find further details of what your child is learning each week by looking at the half termly plans.
Schools must complete the Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) for each child in the first 6 weeks after they enter reception. See the parent guide below for further information.
Please make sure you are sharing books with your child and that you are supporting them with their reading at home. Once your child starts to learn phonics, they will bring home books to practice the sounds and words that they know and are learning.
See below for the Reception suggested reading list.
This week in phonics, we have been looking at longer words, words ending in 'ing' and compound words such as farm yard and roof top. We need to practise our tricky words, so please use the Dojo link over Easter to try and learn these. They will really help with our reading.
In maths, we have been learning about the composition of 9 and 10.
We have been reading Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell by Sue Hendra.
On Friday, we had our Garden Day. We walked along Tavistock Canal, played Pooh sticks, fed the ducks, did a Spring Colours Scavenger Hunt and played 'Find it'. In the afternoon we made rice crispie cakes and decorated Easter baskets.
This week, Reception have been concentrating on a blending blast in phonics. We have been reading graphemes, blending and writing CVC words.
In maths we have been looking at length and measure – comparing length and height.
In Drawing Club, we have been focusing on the book Six Dinner Sid.
Our learning this week is all about worms and we are enjoying re reading Superworm.
In class we also have tadpoles and we are caring for them and watching them developThis week Reception have revisited the graphemes 'ur','igh','oa' and 'ow' and re learning our tricky words.
In maths we have been building 9 and 10 and looking at how to recognise and represent these numbers.
We have also read the story 'The Bad Tempered Ladybird' by Eric Carle. We have talked about what makes us grumpy.
On Friday, it was red nose day. We dressed in red and had crazy hair.
