- The 'Welcome to Reception meeting' will be repeated next Tuesday 18th September if you were unable to attend this week. Thank you to those of you who have already attended.
- There is a 'Reading, Writing and Maths' workshop on Wednesday 19th September at 7.30pm which gives a great incite into helping your child learn to read, write and learn maths.
- The children will have their individual school photos taken next Thursday 20th.
- The children will have PE next Monday. They will need bare feet so if they find removing tights tricky this may be a good day to wear socks!
- Things to do...
- Read books to your child and talk about any rhyming words you come across.
- Encourage your child to practise taking their shoes and socks off and putting them back on ready for PE on Monday.
The children have done very well this week, although many of them are very tired!
The children have been split into groups of 15 for adult directed activities. This week they have rotated around the four areas inside the classroom and learnt how to use the resources available and tidy away. They visited the maths and small world areas, creative area, writing and role play area and fine motor activity area.
Here they are exploring the different areas:
The children have been on a sound walk, learning how to listen and identify sounds in the environment. They have also listened to a range of sounds on a cd identifying what they could hear- this included animal sounds, instruments, thunder, fireworks, skipping, tap dancing amongst other sounds. It is very important that children learn to listen as this will help the children to listen to the phonemes in words and learn to write.
The children have had lots of fun in ChIL (Child initiated Learning).
We have also been singing many number rhymes including: 5 little men in a flying saucer, 10 green bottles, 5 little ducks. Please sing lots of number rhymes with your child at home.
The office will email the lunch menu as requested at this mornings meeting. Please discuss lunch options with your child each morning if possible.
Have a lovely weekend,
The Year R Team
