Year Reception: What We Are Learning
This term our topic is Journeys. Our focus book this week was The Journey Home from Grandpa’s.
This week we learnt all about road safety, transport past and present and what our favourite forms of transport are.
In Literacy we recapped our red words the,a,I,of,he,go,to,my,was,you,we,they,she,have,all,her,see and remembered that sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop. We wrote about what forms of transport are seen in the story including a black crane, a blue barge, a pink tractor and a yellow car. Please continue to read 5 times a week with your children and work on set 2 or 3 sounds as well as word time words (1.4, 1.5, 1.6 etc).
In Maths this week the children have been exploring a range of maps and following directions. We have become very excited about our zoo trip next week after seeing what animals were on the map!
On Thursday, the children had a fantastic time at our Summer Disco! They enjoyed dancing to their favourite songs,showing off their amazing dance moves,and taking part in a fun-filled magic show. There was lots of laughter as everyone challenged themselves in the limbo. It was an afternoon filled with smiles ,music and excitement.
Hot weather
Next week is expected to be another hot week. Please ensure your child comes to school wearing sunscreen,brings a named sun hat and a water bottle, and is dressed in light cool clothing. There will be no need for jumpers or fleeces unless the weather changes.
School trip reminder - Friday 10th July 2026
A reminder that on Friday 10th July we will be visiting Call of the Wild Zoo for our school trip. Please ensure your child arrives at school on time, as the coach will be leaving promptly and we will not be able to wait for late arrivals.
If you have chosen to provide your child with a packed lunch,please remember to bring it with them on the day. We are looking forward to a fantastic day of learning and adventure!
Well done Reception for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
