Summer 1 Week 1 25.4.25
Hello!
This week the children have been working really hard in their phonics groups. Thank you for your continued support in reading with your child. In addition, thank you for your support helping your child to access Numbots. This program really helps to speed up mental recall. We will continue to give certificates out this term.
In maths, we have been practising strategies for counting larger sets. The children have been recapping the rules for counting accurately. We have been moving objects to count, putting objects into sets and smaller groups to help us count larger amounts and coming up with strategies to count immovable objects by grouping, crossing out and counting in particular orders.
We have been reading the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar which is our focus text for our Talk 4 Writing unit We have been reading and discussing the story and making up actions to help us to retell the story. We will continue with this story next week. The children will be creating their own story maps to help retell the story and then using their phonic knowledge to write the story. We will also innovate the story, thinking of new elements to make it our own new story.
In maths next week we will be focusing on subitising and making 6 in different ways.
As the weather starts to get warmer, please ensure that your child has a sun hat and sun cream applied when it is sunny. Please also make sure your child has a raincoat and wellies in school as this allows us to be out whatever the weather!
Have a lovely weekend!
The Reception Team
