Reception Newsletter 28.01.19

Term: Spring 1                 Date: 28.01.19

Dear Parents and Carers,


Thank you to all of the parents and carers who came to the Maths Stay and Learn on Tuesday, the children enjoyed inviting you into their classroom. We hope you enjoyed it and found it useful.

Last week the children loved reading the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. They enjoyed retelling the story with masks, puppets and acting it out themselves. The children also made some fantastic wanted posters to help catch the troll.

This week we will be reading another traditional tale, The Three Little Pigs. We also have a visit from Charlie the storyteller, where the children will become storytellers. Do not forget that it is NUMBER DAY on Friday - we cannot wait to see all of your costumes and for a day of Maths fun!


Communication & Language
The children will be retelling the story of the Three Little Pigs as well as joining in with a storytelling workshop.

Maths
This weeks number is 13. Perhaps you can spot the number at home or outside. We will be looking at measure for the next two weeks, introducing and using key language as well as ordering objects by length, height, weight and capacity.

Literacy
We will be making wanted posters to help catch the big bad wolf. The children will build on the simple sentences they wrote last week, this time describing the wolf.

Expressive Arts and Design
We will be building houses from a variety of materials in the art, construction and loose parts areas.


Dates for your diary:
Number Day: Friday 1st February
A day full of fun Maths activities. Please come dressed as something related to Maths. We will be collecting £1 per family to go towards the NSPCC.

Literacy Stay & Learn Session: Tuesday 12th March

Messages:
Ethan is missing a jumper, please could you check the labels in your child’s jumpers to ensure they have the correct one. Thanks in advance.

Can we please ask that your child has their reading folder in school on their reading day so that their reading books can be changed. If you are unsure of what day this is, please ask. A staff member will read with your child on this day also writing in their record. Remember to write in your child’s reading record each time you read together at home, as these will be counted towards reading awards as well as letting staff know how your child is getting on at home. You should be aiming to read together for around ten minutes on most days.

If you would like to contact a member of the EYFS team via email the address it is: eyfs@broadford.havering.sch.uk.


Kind Regards,
The Reception Team
