Welcome back to the final term of this academic year! Where is the time going? The children were keen to chat about what they had done in the holidays with their friends.
This can be quite an emotional term for children as they begin to realise that their time in Reception is coming to an end. We have been chatting to the children about this term being the term where they grow even more, become more confident with their reading, writing, their numbers and ability to deal with challenging situations. We have chatted about their favourite things in Reception and what they want to get even better at. We will continue to chat about transitions into Year 1 and support them with this.
In phonics, we have continued to practise our phonemes and reading words with this week with the long vowel sunders. The children are really doing well spotting digraphs and trigraphs in words. For some children, the tricky words are still… tricky! Please keep practising these at home.
In maths, the children have been practising counting down from 10 to 0 and then from 20 to 0. Can your child show you how they do it?
It was lovely to see all of the children wearing green today, we have been on a litter pick in the Wilderness area and we have talked about how to keep our planet clean and tidy!
