Nursery Rhyme Week
This week, we celebrated Nursery Rhyme Week! In Literacy, we read Each Peach, Pear Plum by Allan Ahlberg and Janet Ahlberg. We had so much fun carefully exploring the illustrations to spot all the different nursery rhyme characters hidden on each page.
On Wednesday, we looked at household objects from the past and the present. We talked about how they are similar and different.
This week’s chilli challenges were all linked to our nursery rhyme theme. Take a look at some of the wonderful learning in action…
Phonics
This week, we learnt four new graphemes: v, w, x, and y. The children are really enjoying their daily phonics sessions and are becoming super readers!
Help at home:
Practise reading the tricky words we’ve learnt so far. You could make it fun by playing a Tricky Word Hunt around your home. Hide the words and see how quickly your child can find and read them!
Living and Learning
Our Living and Learning statement this week is: I follow our school rules: We’re ready.
We have been exploring what it means to be ready – showing good looking, good listening, good sitting and good body language. The children are fantastic at being ready to learn – well done, Reception!
Help at home: Talk together about what being ready looks like at home. For example, being ready to help or being ready for school.
Reminder
Next Tuesday is our Maths Stay & Learn session for parents. Once the children are settled on the carpet, we’ll invite you into the classroom to watch a short maths session. After that, there’ll be a variety of maths challenges for you to enjoy with your child. To finish the session, I’ll deliver a short presentation all about maths in Reception. We look forward to seeing you there!
