There’s been a lot of excitement in Reception during the last couple of weeks. Our recent trip to The Butterfly Farm was enjoyed by all and a lovely way to bring our Growing and Changing topic to a close. On Wednesday we had ‘Move up Morning’ when the children spent time in their new classrooms with their new teacher and teaching assistant. We had our swimming taster session on Thursday which was wonderful. The children behaved sensibly and had a brilliant time supported by their Year 6 buddies. It’s hard to believe where the year has gone – time flies when you’re having fun!
In phonics we have been revising:
- Phase 4 sounds
- Regular and irregular key words
- Tricky words
How to help your child at home:
Read, read, and read some more. The children have made amazing progress this year. To keep their love of reading alive, take every opportunity to read or share stories. There are books allocated on Bug Club and lots of electronic stories available online. Local libraries usually have Summer reading challenges which are great to get involved with. Encourage the children to write a diary, Miss Quirke would be very impressed! Most importantly enjoy some down time and have fun!
Thank you
This is the final ‘Round Up’ this academic year- it’s hard to believe where the year has gone. Thank you for your continued support and for making this year brilliant!
Finally please send in a large carrier bag for bringing home books etc this week.
