This week in Reception starts with our SEAL lesson and assembly. Our SEAL theme at the moment is 'New Beginnings'. Each week we have a different SEAL statement to work on and this weeks is 'I can think of ways to solve a problem.' For those of you that are able to join for SEAL this week - we will begin the lesson at 9am and then go into assembly at 9:30am. After assembly you are welcome to join us back in the classroom and then I believe there will be refreshments served in the hall. You should be free to leave at around 10:30am. Having parents in the classroom can be very exciting for your children and then a little upsetting when it's time for you to go. Please make sure that you explain to your children that you wont be there for the whole morning and hopefully this might help - fingers crossed!!
The Rest of the week in Reception is as follows:
Phonics: We will be recapping i-n-m-d and learning how to form these letters. We will also be continuing to practice s-a-t-p from last week, as well as learning to read the tricky word 'the' and learning to blend the high frequency words is-in-it-at.
Number: We will be continuing to practice our number formation and working on simple estimation and 1:1 counting.
Topic: We will be looking at, 'How we have changed?'. We would like all the children to bring in a picture of them as a baby so we can all look at how they have changed - you can start sending these in tomorrow. We will also be thinking about all the things they can do now that they couldn't when they were a baby. Our portraits are still work in progress but are coming on nicely:)
During our shared reading time - we will be reading lots of stories with rhyme and repetition and also talking to the children about the difference between a letter and a word - this is all in preparation for us to begin to hand out reading books. We will begin our initial reading assessment this week and when we have completed this you child will bring home their first reading book!!
So here's to another action packed week......
Thank You
The Reception Team

Thank you for inviting us to observe the SEAL lesson and assembly, it was very enjoyable.
Kaeden is eager to have a go on the Early Years Games, but we'll encourage him to select a baby photo later.
