Reception

Welcome to Reception Class!

I am Mrs Hewitt and I am very excited to be your Teacher this year.

This year, Reception PE with ASM will be on Friday mornings. Please remember to bring your book bag on Tuesdays and Fridays so that we can change books. We are looking forward to joining whole school assemblies after October half term.

This term our topic is …

Who lives in your house?

Think about:

Who is in your family? Do you have any brothers or sisters? or maybe even Pets?
What is a family? Why are all families different? Why is it okay to be different?
Where do you live? Are there any shops nearby? Is it close to school?
What do you like doing at home? Why?
Who are your friends? Why are they your friends? How did you meet them?

This half term, we will be thinking about:

Making and building relationships
Exploring our new environment.
Learning our RWI Set 1 phonics sounds.
Writing our name with a capital letter.
Using our phonic knowledge to help us segment and blend CVC word e.g. c-a-t.
Using number names correctly.
Recognising, ordering and writing numbers to 5.

Extra activities to try at home

We are working hard to practise our blending skills for reading. Practise blending using the Phase 2 games ‘Buried Treasure’ and ‘Dragons Den’ (Sets 1-4):
