Literacy
This week, our focus story has been The Great Big Book of Families by Hoffman Mary. After reading the book, we talked about our families and drew pictures of them.
Yesterday, we talked about different types of houses and drew a picture of our house.
Maths
This week, we’ve focussed on perceptual subitising (recognising the number of objects without counting) up to 3. We’ve been learning how to use our fast eyes when looking at small sets of objects.
Help at home: Can you say how many dots there are without counting?
Phonics
This week, we’ve learnt more phase 2 phonemes: i, n, m and d. We’ve been trying really hard to pronounce the phonemes correctly. We’ve also started writing initial sounds in our phonics books.
Help at home: Don’t forget to use your weekly phonics home learning sheet!
Poetry Picnic
Every week, when we’re having our milk and snack, we’ll learn a poem. Throughout the week, we’ll rehearse it, practise the actions and talk about the poem. On Fridays, we’ll perform our poem for you to watch at home. Video coming soon!
Every Friday, your child will bring a paper copy of the poem home for you to keep practising at home.
Reading
Reading daily at home is an essential part of your child’s reading journey. Please make sure your write in your child’s reading record and return it every Thursday. If you have any issues logging onto Collins eBooks, please let me know.
Check out what else we’ve been up to in Reception!
