Welcome to Reception Class!
Hello! I am Mrs Hewitt. I am very excited to be your Reception Teacher. I know that school has been a bit different recently and that you haven’t been able to come and visit us but I have been busily preparing to welcome you for when you join school in September.
Keep exploring books, counting, mark making and having fun over the holidays – and have a rest ready for our new adventures…
Help keep up your skills and get ‘Reception Ready’ here.
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.
