11th October 2024
Dear parents/carers,
Firstly, thank you for your continued support throughout the first half of the Autumn term; it has been a pleasure to teach all of your incredible children. As we draw near to the end of the year; we continue to strive for the best outcomes of each child within our care. As a reminder next week; we will be having our welcome liturgies and as well as parents evening.
Religious Education
Religious Education: Our focus for RE will be supporting children in their welcome liturgy; we would greatly appreciate it if you are able to attend as this liturgy is a chance to strengthen the home school partnership. Home learning task: Discuss with your child their feelings on school, the friendships they have built and how they feel as part of the school community.

Phonics
In the world of phonics: We will continue to work following the Little Wandle scheme. We encourage parents to interact with the Little Wandle webpage to further and deepen their understanding of the process of learning phonics. We will be posting more relevant content on Seesaw for parents to access the learnt sounds. Engage with Little Wandle; in particular the use of ‘Tricky’ words. |
Literacy: Communication and Language In Literacy, we have continued our enjoyment of The Colour Monster goes to school as well as investigating a range of different books alongside the children. Developing this love of reading is crucial for your child’s development; investigating rhyme, discussing characters as well as settings will help immerse your child within reading. It was a pleasure to see so many of you engaging with the 10 minute reading session that occurred on Thursday of this week.
Home learning task: Continue to read at home with your child. |
Maths
In Maths, we have investigated numbers 1 - 3; we have adopted the mastery approach of taking our time to investigate each number to strengthen children’s understanding of number. We encourage parents to engage with counting songs and exploring number within the immediate environment.
Home learning task: Please practise recognising numbers in different environments e.g. at home, on the bus, on the roads, at the doctors, etc. |
Warm regards, The Reception Team.
