Hello all,

This week in Reception, we have been exploring the wonderful world of nursery rhymes and rhyming words! The children have enjoyed singing familiar nursery rhymes, joining in with repeated phrases and using actions to bring the rhymes to life.

We have been learning to listen carefully to the sounds in words and identify words that rhyme, such as cat, hat and dog, log. The children have enjoyed spotting rhyming words and thinking of their own rhyming pairs. We have also played fun games to help us recognise words that sound the same at the end.

Nursery rhymes are a fantastic way to develop children’s listening skills, phonological awareness and early reading skills. Through singing, repetition and playful activities, the children are building confidence in hearing and recognising sounds in words.

Maths

This week in maths we were learning about numbers 1,2 and 3 by finding quantities, subitizing, comparing numbers and problem solving tasks. 

Phonics

In phonics the children have been introduced to the letter sounds: h, b, f. l. Our tricky word this week is: 'the'.

Please revise all of the Autumn 1 letter sounds at home from the hand out you have been given. 

You can also use the link below to access Little Wandle's section for parents. The children are currently working on recognising Phase 2 sounds Autumn one. The video on the website will help the children to develop the fluency and accuracy in naming the letter sounds.

Recycling Request

If you have any recycling items such as small boxes, clean containers, or plastic bottles at home, we would really appreciate them for our creative modelling area. Please do not send in any packaging that has contained nuts or sesame products, as we have children with allergies. 

Have a great weekend!

Mrs Sheehan
