Rec P 2024 - 2025

Welcome to Reception!

Welcome back to our last half term in Reception! We hope you had a lovely break and enjoyed making memories as a family, we love hearing about all of the wonderful things the children have been up to. We are super excited for our final trip of the year to Smithilles Farm!! You will see what a great time we have on the website gallery.

This half term our topic is … Superheroes! We will start the half term with the story Supertato, in this story an Evil Pea is on the loose, can we help catch him?! The children will be making their own traps, labelling them and also writing sentences about how they work!  We will then move onto There is no Dragon in this Story, where we might see characters that we recognise from some familiar stories.

Our role play area has transformed into a hospital! We are so excited to become real life SUPERHEROES! 

In Maths we will recap addition and subtraction and begin to develop our reasoning skills by solving word problems. We will also continue to work on the children’s understanding and fast recall of number bonds to 5 and 10, using our outdoor area to play fun games relating to this.

Our RE topic is Special Stories, we will be learning all about stories from the bible that Jesus told his Disciples. We will also be talking about the children’s favourite stories and why they are special to them.

We would like to again stress the importance of reading with your child at home, we can see the progress the children are making from reading at home, so please continue to allow your child to read their book to you or an older sibling.

Our PE lessons are on Mondays and Fridays, please encourage your child to practise dressing themselves at home, this will really help them to become more independently and be able to dress themselves confidently for PE.

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

Thank you for your continued support,

Mrs Parry
