Summer Term

Welcome back Reception, Doesn't time fly when in the sunshine!!

We hope you have all been enjoying the lovely April weather so please make sure that you all come equipped with sunscreen and hats as we will be spending a lot of time outside.

Well, we are now starting our Summer term and the children have been on an incredible journey so far. We are now about to embark on the best yet!! So here is what we have lined up for this Easter week.....




Numeracy
The children will be counting and recognising numbers to 100, starting to add two sets of objects together to create a new total and recording their work as a number sentence 9+1=10 etc...

Literacy/Topic
We will be learning all about the Easter story using props to help us retell. The children will learn about Easter Traditions and about why and how we celebrate Easter.

Phonics
This week we will be learning the long vowel 'oi' and the corresponding jolly phonics action. We will be using visualisation techniques to help the children secure this sound and how its formed. We will be introducing some new keywords and practising all the ones learned so far.

Outdoor area
We will be making Dens outside with boxes and blankets, practising for our school sports day, printing with our large paint rollers, designing eggs in painting area and learning lots of new songs and much more... watch this space....

We are so excited to see you all bright eyed a bushy tailed in the morning. Just one small request if anyone has already eaten any easter eggs or when you do over the Easter break could we please have the empty boxes for our confectionery egg shop, we will be setting outside, thank-you for your support.
