Hello everyone,

This week in Reception we have played different games and discussed the importance of learning and obeying the rules while playing a game. The children especially enjoyed playing Double, Snakes and Ladders, Connect Four and Hopscotch. There are so many benefits of taking part in a game, amongst others, games teach children to follow instructions, build communication skills, help children learn to fail and encourage healthy competition. 

From next week we will be looking at a map of the world and we will discuss different locations which are familiar to us. It might be a place where our relatives come from or which we have visited during holidays.  It would be great if the children could bring a photograph to school of the place they want to show and tell us a short story related to the picture. Next week Ms Ricky will tell us about Trinidad and Tobago.

Phonics

In Phonics this week we have been identifying tricky words and digraphs in sentences.

Next week we will be reading short stories about farm animals.

Maths

In Maths we have been using a measuring tape to check our height. 

Next week we will continue with measuring objects in different ways.

In PE the children took part in variety of running races which was super exciting.

Please make sure your child has sun cream and a sun hat on next week as it is going to be hot.

Have a great weekend!

Mrs Sheehan
