Spring 2

OUR LEARNING THIS HALF-TERM

This half term we are immersed in the story of 'Rapunzel' through our Talk for Writing lessons and within our continuous provision.

We will also celebrate seasonal changes as signs of spring have started to appear, and significant events around the world including world book day, Ramadan, Eater, St Patrick's day and International Woman's Day to name a few.

In phonics, we are continuing learning to segment and blend, form letters and manipulate phonemes in our sound swap games.

In maths, we are learning about subitising, different ways to make 6 and doubles. In our shape lessons we will continue to explore shapes both 2D and 3D, positional language and shape properties.

HOMEWORK

Every Friday, your child will come home with a handwriting sheet which should be returned to school by the following Wednesday.

Please support your child to ensure that their home learning task is the best that it can be. You can do this by:

encouraging your child to “say the sounds” as they write them
put their pencil on the dot and follow the direction to form the letter correctly

In addition to their weekly homework, your child will need to read aloud to you everyday. Book change day is Wednesday.

TRIPS

We are excited to announce that we will attend St George's Church on the 10th March! We will explore our current term's R.E topic which is salvation.

We will inform you of any future trips in due course!

FAMILY LEARNING

Family Learning Week is w/c 16^th March – save the whole week in your diaries. There will be a class learning session one morning and then whole school sessions in the afternoons.

Reception will have our Family Learning session on Wednesday 18th March at 8:30am. Come along to learn how you can support your child with their fine and gross motor skills at home. Miss Adesina will be sharing activities you can do at home to develop muscle strength which is needed for handwriting. We are looking forward to seeing you there!
