Reception Round Up
Some of the things the children have been learning...
We have set sail with our new ‘Pirates’ topic and discovered that pirates love golden underpants! We have explored rhyme in the story and suggested alternative phrase endings.
In maths we have been comparing and ordering numbers to 20 and beyond. We’ve also started to practise counting in 2’s.
Some of the things the children will be learning in the weeks to come...
Our focus text in literacy will be Mrs Pirate. We will be exploring rhyme further and writing shopping lists.
In maths we will be exploring capacity in maths investigations. We will be writing addition and subtraction sentences relating to one more and one less.
In phonics we have been introduced to blends:
tw as in twin
sm as in smell
pr as in print
sc as in scan
sk as in skull
sn as in snack
nch as in lunch
How to help your child at home...
- Secure number recognition to 20 and beyond
- Practise simple addition and subtraction. (Up to 10 then 20) present in ‘real life’ contexts
- Read signs you see on the way to school
- Sing nursery rhymes, identify the words that rhyme
- Write a shopping list encouraging the children to write the sounds they hear
- Please encourage the children to dress and undress independently
