Summer Term 2

Welcome to Reception Class!  We hope you all had a lovely half-term, we are so excited about all the special events which are happening over this term.  Our topic this term is 'Holidays' we will be looking at maps and their purpose, comparing the seaside in past times and now, thinking about the things that we might take on our holidays alongside animals that we might find in different parts of the world (different continents) and those we would find in the zoo. 

Class Fund - Thank you for your past contributions.  This term we will not be taking any money for the fund (families will know if they are still contributing).  The money collected will be used towards the cost of the coach and entrance to our visit to Old Mc Donald's Farm and also some additional, fun resources for the children. 

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!  As the weather is getting warmer and the Summer term continues, black shorts and a white t-shirt are recommended.  Please make sure that your child also has trainers for our PE sessions.  We will use our PE days to practice for our upcoming Sports Day.

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.  If your child's book bag is misplaced, it is important that you provide them with another bag as soon as possible.

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.
