Reception Newsletter 20.05.19

Term: Summer 1                          Date: 20.05.19


Dear Parents and Carers,

The weather held off for us and all three classes enjoyed their trip to Central Park. The children looked at the local environment on route and enjoyed playing with friends.

This week we will be reading 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ and ‘The Bad Tempered Ladybird’ which were both written by Eric Carle. The children will be learning about the lifecycle of a caterpillar ready for our caterpillar arrivals next half term.

We will be having class campfires this week for each class. We invite parents/carers to join their child to sing some songs and toast marshmallows at the end of the day. The campfires will all start at 2.15pm.

Monday - Apple 
Tuesday - Aspen 
Wednesday - Alder 


Looking forward to year one, we are going to begin encouraging the children to walk down the ramp independently to their classroom in the mornings. There is no rush to do this immediately, but only when you and your child feel they are ready. Staff will welcome the children as usual and support with choosing lunch or putting their things away if needed. Looking forward, we would hope most of the children will be able to achieve this by the end of the summer term.

Communication and Language
We are encouraging children to use talk to organise, sequence and clarify thinking, ideas, feelings and events.

Physical Development
As we continue to develop the children’s fine motor strength we are now also focussing on their letter and number formation as well. Particularly encouraging and correcting backwards formed letters and numbers.

Maths
We will be looking at shape, space and measure this week in Maths. The children will recap positional language, weight, length and money.

Literacy
The children will be labelling the lifecycle of a caterpillar as well as creating and writing the sequel for The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Understanding the World
We will be caring for our beans and sunflowers and observing them grow over the next few weeks. The children will be looking at the lifecycle and changes of a caterpillar.
