Mrs Perry

Welcome back to another busy and fun filled half term, we hope you hope you had a lovely break, making lots of memories together as a family and are ready for another exciting half term in Reception!

 

We will begin this half term by exploring all things animals! Our first story is ‘Owl Babies’, throughout this story we will begin to learn key vocabulary such as ‘hunting’ and ‘nocturnal’ and develop skills such as story sequencing, recalling key events and acting out the story using puppets and props. We will then move on to a non-fiction book ‘Night Animals’, learning lots of fun facts, making animals using playdough and creating our own fact files. We will also be exploring autumn, recognising the changes in our own outdoor area as well collecting autumnal objects to make wreaths and engage in transient art activities.

In Maths we will continue to develop our number recognition and counting skills, learn key vocabulary related to capacity and size and also begin to describe the properties of shapes. We will also revisit addition and subtraction, with some fun practical games in our outdoor area to help us!

This half term our RE topic is Special Times, this will include discussing our own special memories, the feelings associated with the memory, Jesus’ special times and thinking about why it is important to celebrate special times.

The children are making great progress in phonics, they are beginning to recognise a range of letters and can recall the sound they make, some children are now beginning to blend the sounds to read some words! Please continue to encourage your child to read their book at home, we love listening to them read to us in school!

 Any questions - please do ask on drop off/pick up or contact the office.

Mrs Perry
