The end of the year is in sight! The week started off with moving up day where the children went to visit their new year one classes. They were super excited and had lots to tell us when they arrived back in Reception.
The weather has started to become lovely and hot again and the children have thoroughly enjoyed playing in the sun! They have enjoyed making potions, dipping their feet in the paddling pool, being creative and painting on cling film, and riding the scooters around the garden.
In Literacy, we have built on our learning of instructions. Building on from their instructions about how to be a pirate, the children then wrote instructions on how to be in Reception. We started off by writing what we do in Reception and then we put them into instructions. We were amazed by the beautiful handwriting that the children produced when writing their instructions.
It was wonderful to see so many of you at our open afternoon, celebrating and sharing the children’s amazing work and achievements from this year!
How you can help at home:
– Ask your child what their favourite part about moving up day was to help with their transition.
– Continue to read with your child and practise their phonics everyday.
– When at home, ask your child to find one more or one less of a specific object for example when setting the table for dinner, you can ask them to get one more fork and then how many do you have after you get one more.
