Reception Round Up
One of the highlights of last week was without doubt our performance of The Twinkly Nativity. The children all performed and sang beautifully, and we are so proud of them. Well done Reception super-stars!
We have written about the Christmas story and labelled toys in Santa’s sack. We have been learning to read and show o’clock times and explored simple subtraction.
In phonics we have introduced digraphs and trigraphs...

Our topic ‘Hot and Cold’ will begin as we explore hibernation using Bear’s Winter House as our focus text.
In Maths we will start learning to recognise teen numbers as 10 and some more, exploring the value of each digit.
How to help your child at home…
- Encourage children to write… anything! (cards, lists, letters etc.)
- Practise counting to 20 and beyond – thinking about the value of two-digit numbers
- Share Christmas stories – identify familiar words in the text and ask children to read along where possible
- Keep a simple holiday diary to share in class when we return
What’s coming up/ notices/ information...
On Wednesday, our final day of term, we will be having a class Christmas party. We will enjoy party food, games and dancing!!
