Reception Weekly Focus 26.11.18

For the next two weeks, the children in Reception we will be spending time perfecting our Christmas play in the hall. The children are becoming more confident in singing aloud to the music and signing using British Sign Language.

In our Topic session we will be reading the Christmas story to the children so they have some understanding as to why many people celebrate Christmas. 

Our phonics focus this week is recalling all phonemes learnt so far and building CVC words - reading and writing them correctly. We will also be learning the new phonemes 'f'  and l'.

In Maths we are focusing on teen numbers. We will be counting forwards, backwards, work on teen number recognition and how to correctly write teen numbers this week. 

Reception Focus 12.11.18

This week in Reception we will be continuing to focus on the story 'Room on a Broom' by Julia Donaldson. 

In Literacy, the children will revisit the story and will have lots of fun making their own magic potions. They will then attempt to write their own recipe and list of ingredients for the potions. 

Our Phonics focus this week is recalling all of the phonemes learnt so far ensuring that they are all formed correctly. In addition, we will be learning the new phonemes 'u' and r'.

In Maths, we will be exploring size and length. 

In our Topic session, we will be discussing what Children in Need is and read a story about Pudsey bear.
