Reception – Miss Skilton and Miss Sunderland
Spring 1 – Reception Class Newsletter
Our topic for this half term is ‘Can we switch it on?’ where we will be exploring technology. We are going to be using different technologies, exploring technology around the classroom, school and home. We will talk about being safe when using the internet and of course using child friendly computing resources. We are going to continue with phase 3 phonics using our letters and sounds scheme. This term we are going to be encouraging the children to use their phonic knowledge and apply this to their writing and reading more independently. Please support the children at home by encouraging them to practice writing as much as possible. This can be as simple as the children showing you the sound they have learnt in that day’s phonics, writing notes or cards to family members, or ‘helping’ you to write a shopping list. Most importantly try and make it fun. In maths we are continuing to build upon our number, shape and measure skills. The children need to be secure in counting to 20 and ordering these numbers, please support your child with this.
Tapestry will be used to share the children’s learning and progress with you. Please ensure you use this at home as well to show us what learning your child has been doing at home. Please see the grid below for a home learning task each week. Tapestry is an extremely useful tool to help us plan for your children, the more we see the more we can help the children reach their full potential. Please see us if you need any support with using tapestry.
