Week Commencing 14th March

We would like to say a huge thank-you to those of you who attended our recent curriculum evenings last week, it was lovely to see you all and we hope that you found the information shared useful. If you need any help or want to ask any questions then we are available most evenings after school, alternatively you can make an appointment if you want to discuss things further; so please come and approach us I assure you we don't bite!!!

This week we will be gearing ourselves up for Red Nose day on Friday 18th March, which is also our next open day. We have placed some sign-up sheets on the noticeboard for you all to sign up for which session you wish to attend be it either the AM or PM session on this day.

Topic/Literacy

Over the weekend Mrs Russell took our chicks home to look after them and make sure they are safe and warm. I am sure they have been well looked after and are much bigger than when they left us on Friday and soon will be out growing the brooder box. As it is science week this week we will be conducting some experiments such as "Can an egg float?", the children will be updating their Chicken diaries all week, as well as continuing to look at the story of Chicken Licken.

Numeracy

We are finishing off our block of work on 3D shape, making nets of these shapes and then finally moving onto looking at symmetry by the end of the week. We will be investigating what shapes are symmetrical and creating some symmetry pictures using mirrors to help us investigate.

Phonics

Continuing with Phase three we will be recapping our new sounds we introduced last week ar, oo (oo) and going back over igh, ee, or and ai. The children will be playing noisy sounds outside, listening to the phonics songs, reading captions with these sounds in and writing words and sentences.

We cannot believe it is week three already and summer term is fast approaching. Sadly this is the last week the chicks will be with us so please feel free to wander in any classrooms in the morning where the chicks will be stationed. They will be in Mrs Fosters class on Monday morning.

See you all on Monday

The Reception Team
