Welcome to Reception/Year 1 class

Our topic this term is 'Into the Woods'

We will begin the term by getting to know the children and supporting them to settle in to their new class. They will learn the routines of the classroom and we will focus on sharing skills and taking care of our things.

Literacy

We will be learning lots about bears and things that go into the woods! We can't wait to find out where the children steer our learning! You can support your child at home by reading two key texts: We're Going on a Bear Hunt and Little Red.

You can find out what happens in our first story here:
Maths
In Maths we will be using numbers up to 5 to begin with in lots of different ways to master early counting and number skills.

Tuesday is PE day

Our PE day will be Tuesday. 
Please make sure your child has their PE kit ready and in school.

Outdoor Learning

All the children will get the opportunity to take part in an outdoor session each week. Please make sure their waterproofs, wellies and outdoor kit bag is ready in school. There is an up-to-date guide on the class Dojo page. 

Library Books - Friday

Your child will have the opportunity to visit the school library each week and borrow a book of their choosing. We will make a record of the book they have taken out and as long as they bring it back each week, they can continue to choose new ones.

The choice of book is completely up to the child. We encourage enjoyment for reading so it may be that they bring home a book for you to read to them.

Phonics

We are introducing Monster Phonics which is a fun and exciting approach to phonics. Keep an eye out on the Class Dojo page for a parent/carer information session all about how we teach phonics and early reading in school.
Thank you for looking at our page!
