We will be continuing on with our topic of Healthy Me this week where the children will be learning about different ways to keep healthy. They will be learning about healthy and unhealthy foods and how we need exercise to keep our bodies healthy. This is a perfect opportunity to enhance this learning at home by getting your child to try healthy foods at home and make healthy choices. Talk about what they are eating and get them to identify if the food is healthy or not. Please also remember that the children’s water bottles should only contain water and not squash, as this is not healthy for their teeth.
This week RCG will be practicing for their class assembly after the half term break. Please look out for details in the Friday focus.
The children will be back in their phonics groups this week. They will be continuing to learn new sounds or recap over previously taught sounds. Continue to go through the flashcards at home and put sounds together to make words with 4 and 5 sound. Please return the reading book on Wednesday that was sent home with your child. Remember to sign the diary each time you hear your child read. Below are some videos to watch for extra practice.

This week in Math’s, children will build on the learning from previous steps by now manipulating shapes. Children will explore moving, turning, rotating and flipping shapes to fit into the spaces provided. In this small step, tangram pieces are introduced for the first time. The children will explore the tangram shapes in open-ended activities before moving on to using these in adult-led tasks. Below are some songs about number bonds and doubles that the children enjoy signing and help with their number facts.
We break up for the half term holidays on Friday 23rd May. Enjoy the break and we look forward to seeing you after the break for the children’s final half term in Reception.
Enjoy your week and have a relaxing half term break,
The Reception Team
