Reception Learning W.C - 28.9.26

 

Reception: What We Are Learning 

Reception have been working really hard this week. This term our topic is Marvellous Me. Our focus book was Sharing A Shell.

Here is what we have been up to: We have been learning all about friendship and what it means to be a good friend, we made friendship bracelets to give to a class mate, we sequenced the story and designed our own shell in drawing club. 

The children have also been working hard in Read, Write, Inc this week. The children have been learning the sounds e, l, h, r, and j.  Please continue to read with your children and work on these sounds with them everyday. Practise Set 1 Sounds here. 

In Maths this week the children have been working hard to sort objects by colour, shape or size. They also found different ways to sort themselves such as into girls and boys, by height, or hair colour. In addition to this, they compared amounts using the language more or less.

Our Learning Next Week

Next week, we will be exploring the story 'People who help us'. We will speak about who helps us in the community, what to do in an emergency and drew fire fighter hats in drawing club.

In phonics, we will be learning the sounds v, y, w, z and x. At home, you could go on a little sound hunt and see what objects you can find beginning with these sounds!

In maths, we will be learning about subitising — this means recognising how many objects there are without having to count them one by one. For example, seeing 🍎🍎🍎 and knowing there are 3 straight away! Try using dice, fingers or small groups of objects and ask, “How many can you see?”

Thank you for supporting your child’s learning at home! 💛

Well done Reception for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!
