Reception
Topics this half term.
This half term the stories we will be focusing on are ‘Pirates Love Underpants’ by Claire Freedman and ‘The Singing Mermaid’ by Julia Donaldson.
In numeracy we will continue to work on our number bonds to 10 and addition and subtraction. We will also be looking at doubling and halving numbers to 20. Please ensure that your child can recognise numbers to 30. We will also be working on 3D shapes; which 2D/ 3D shapes does your child know already?
By the end of Reception, children are expected to write an independent sentence. Encourage your child to write CVC words and simple sentences at home independently. We would love to see your child’s work! You can email us pictures to- eyfsphotos@briscoe.manchester.sch.uk
Remember to keep supporting your child at home with their blending and segmenting by listening to them read every night. We are also providing you with a “reading for pleasure” book, these will be chosen by your child each week. This is for you to read to them to help with their language development and foster a love for reading.
Blackpool Zoo Visit
We are going to Blackpool Zoo on a school visit. This is inline with our topic next term, which is ‘Africa’.
We are going on Thursday 16th June 2022. We will be leaving school at 9am, please make sure that your child is early to school that day so we can get prepared and ready to go. School uniform must be worn and any packed lunches need to be in a disposable bag.
Morning Activities and Attendance
Every morning in Reception the children will have a different activity to complete to help support their learning. Our door opens at 8:45 and closes at 9:00. Any children that arrive after this time will have to go to the main office.
It is important that your child is arriving on time continuously throughout the year to help support their learning and development.
If you would like any more information on our attendance policy, please speak to one of the class teachers.
