Welcome back to another fun filled half term, we hope you hope you had a fantastic break, making lots of memories together and are ready for another exciting half term in Reception - INCLUDING OUR FIRST SCHOOL TRIP to Imagine That. Keep checking our website gallery for our photos!

This half term our topic is ‘Traditional Tales and farm animals', we will start by looking at ‘The Gingerbread man’, and 'Billy Goats Gruff'. We have some very exciting activities planned this half term, including making gingerbread men, using a range of materials to build bridges for the three goats and a very exciting delivery of eggs, we will watch them hatch and grow into chicks! Finally, we by learning about farm animals by reading our bug club non-fiction book - On the Farm'.

In Maths we will be learning all about time and height and exploring number bonds to ten. We will also be counting sounds, actions and objects through our own St. Peter’s mini Olympics!

This half term our RE topic is 'Why is Easter special to Christians?' We will be learning about Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We will act out each event on our outdoor stage.

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. Please also ensure your child has a full PE kit in school and each item is named.

Please continue to encourage your child to use their phonics when reading at home, we are so impressed with how the children are doing.

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

Thank you for your support,

Miss Sheldon
