Reception
Welcome to Reception Class
Summer Term 1 2022
This term our learning and activities will be inspired by our learning enhancement theme 'Mad About Minibeasts'. We will be learning about different creatures in our local environment, we will be using stories, poetry and non-fiction books to help us, and Eric Carle will be our author focus for this term too. We will be planning and developing our vegetable garden and having our own baby chicks to look after too! We will also be thinking about how we can take care of our world better and vote for our class Eco-Ambassadors.
We continue to work on our phonics skills, becoming more confident at reading and writing words and sentences independently during our daily phonics sessions with Fred the Frog, guided writing sessions and during 'Fantastics Book Talk'. We will also be developing our handwriting and pre-cursive letter shapes using the Letter-join handwriting scheme. We will continue to work on developing our number recognition, counting and problem solving skills during our daily maths sessions and we continue to teach through the 'Mastering Numbers' programme . There will be lots of opportunities for the children to explore, investigate and create, everyday there will opportunities to use our outside spaces and there will be a weekly Forest School session too. Developing collaboration and resilience powers are going to be our Building Learning Power focus.
We are also preparing for Stories4Schools Book Launch event when you will be able share our published stories and buy your own copy of our book. More details to follow.
Children will need to come to school in PE kits on Tuesdays and Forest School clothes on Thursdays please.
If you need to access home learning, activities, resources and planning will be uploaded to our 'Little Smarties' Webpage https://wordpress.com/view/littlesmarties.wordpress.com
We will also use our Class Group Webpage on our school Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/knightlowcofeprimary which is a super way to keep updated with Knightlow News and our own class group page is a great way to show WOW moments of learning that your child has done at home as well as a super way for us to keep you updated too.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns or would like to offer your help or support in any way
Thank you
