Summer Term 1
Welcome to Reception Class! We hope you all had a lovely Easter break. Our value for this term is Compassion. The Bible verse Reception Class are learning is:
Psalm 103:8
'The Lord is full of compassion'
Our topic this term is 'Stories'. We will be reading lots of traditional tales, orally retelling stories and writing our own stories using our book focus of the week. This is a great opportunity for you to visit your local library with your child and take out some of the classic stories such as 'Whatever Next', 'The Three Little Pigs', 'Not Now, Bernard', 'The Rainbow Fish' and 'Little Red Riding Hood'. The more we read with children, the more familiar they will become with the classic stories.
Class Fund - The Class Fund will continue in Summer Term 1. This term we have five weeks before the half-term break therefore, should you wish to pay in full, this will cost £10. Alternatively, please can you provide £2 per week for your child. This helps us buy resources for the children to use in school. We will be doing lots of cooking and attending more visits and any money left over will go towards our end of year trip.
PE - Monday
PE will continue to be on a Monday. Please make sure your child brings in the appropriate clothing for PE, this should not be worn but brought to school in a PE bag! Children should have black jogging bottoms or leggings, a white t-shirt and trainers. If your child wears tights, please make sure they also have socks in their bag.
Please continue to read with your child every day and support them with their weekly homework. Class homework is set every Friday and needs to be returned by the following Friday. Book bags are changed every Monday and Friday. Please make sure your child has their book bag on these days.
Also, please remember that your child has access to 'ReadingEggs', 'Education City' and 'Mathletics'. Encourage your child to access these wonderful learning resources. Certificates are given out each week for participation.
