As always, it’s been a busy week in Reception. We have been busy in our new reading groups working hard on our blending and segmenting skills. Most of the children have become quite confident with blending words containing 3 sounds. We have also written back to the Queen regarding her hat. The children have spotted many interesting looking hats all around the local area and wanted to let Her Majesty know the possible places she might find it.
In maths, we have focused on how the number 5 is made up. It is wonderful to see and hear the children so comfortable and confident to play around with numbers, they are able to see numbers 1-5 in so many different ways. This will really help them as they continue their maths learning throughout the school.
During our PE this week, we have introduced two types of rolls, an egg roll and a pencil roll. Maybe your child could demonstrate how to do these two types of rolls to you at home.
In RE we have been learning about the different miracles that Jesus performed. This week we focused on the story of the paralysed man and the children reflected on who now helps us when we are poorly. Our home corner has become a hospital, with the children having so much fun being doctors and nurses, looking after the patients who need their help.
In phonics this week we have been learning the new sound:
ow-blow the snow
Please practise saying, reading and writing this new sound. Thank you.
