Reception
Welcome to Reception Class
Spring Term 1 2022
We begin this term with our whole school Reverence Week themed 'Believing and Belonging' The text 'The Man Made of Stars' by M.H. Clark will be a stimulus for learning and reflection. Whole school challenges include creating 'Knightlow Sky full of Stars' creating community prayer cards, and RE through drama.
This term our learning and activities will be inspired by our learning enhancement theme 'Once Upon a Time'. We will be using Traditional Tales and Fairy Tales as a focus for cross curricular learning. Activities this term include making Gingerbread biscuits, using drama and story props to retell and create stories as well working collaboratively on projects such as our Billy Goats Gruff Bridge challenge.
We continue to work on our phonics skills, becoming more confident at blending letter sounds to make words and sentences during our daily phonics sessions with Fred the frog and also 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.
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
