30th October
Our topic for this half term is Light and Dark and our learning will be linked to this theme where possible.
Book of the week Whatever Next by Jill Murphy
Homework.
The homework for the half term holiday was to draw a picture of your favourite day in the half term and ask an adult to help you write about it.
Early morning work. We will continue with early morning work, practising writing their names using a capital letter followed by lower case letters and practising the correct letter formation of the sounds learned in our phonis lessons.
Learning for this week
Maths. We will be revising counting to 10 and number recognition to 10 and moving on to introduce numbers 11 to 15. The children will be practicing writing numbers on their white boards. We will continue to learn the names of 2D/3D shapes.
Literacy. We will be story sequencing Whatever Next.
PE. Dressing/undressing independently. Listening to instruction.
PSED. Good to be green, class charter, 5 C’s, rules on the carpet.
Role Play. Our role play area will be transformed into a space station during this week to coincide with our Light and Dark topic.
Getting changed for PE on Friday there are still many children who do not have their uniform or kit named. Please ensure that all uniform, including P.E. Kits, coats and bookbags are named, as this helps prevent loss of belongings. Also children should have a water bottle in school every day (plain water only please).
Can we ask that you collect Reception children before siblings at the school as they get anxious waiting to be collected if they are last.
The doors from the outdoor area and from the school are to remain closed until Reception staff open them at 8.50 am and 3.30 pm. This is to ensure the safety of your children.
Junk modelling.
Next week we are planning on making rockets to tie in with Bonfire Night and our Whatever Next story. Can you please collect toilet roll and kitchen roll tubes for us as we will need plenty. Thank you.
