Reception news
Hi everyone,
We are half way through our second week and everything is going really well.
On Monday your child brought home a reading book. Please try and listen to your child read for a short time each day. Remember to write a brief comment in their diary. We change books on Mondays and Fridays and we will listen to your child read in school each week.
In phonics this week we are learning the sounds m, a, s, d, t. We are following the Read, Write, Inc program which we will be giving you lots of information about at the parents reading workshop on Tuesday 1st October. We hope you can make it!
In maths we are continuing number recognition and formation covering the numerals, 6, 9, 2, 3 and 8. Remember to look at Shonette Bason's Digit Dancing clip on You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh7whodf3RA
On Friday we are celebrating Roald Dahl Day, focusing on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have already started exploring chocolate! We have been making chocolate cream in the messy play and painting with chocolate! It smells yummy!

Phonics
Next week we will be learning the sounds i, n, p, g, o. Every Friday we will send home handwriting practice sheets for you to do at home with your children. We hope that you will find them very useful. These are for your use at home and do not need to be returned to school.
Maths
In maths we will be learning to order numbers and count out corresponding amounts of objects. The children will be ordering complete sets of numbers, e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and random sets, e.g. 3, 7, 2, 4. They will use number tracks and lots of reciting of numbers as strategies to help them order. At home please look at numbers and put them in order and please carry on with counting objects with one to one correspondence - one number for one object!
Here are some fun interactive games you can play online.

Reading
We are pleased that so many of you have enjoyed sharing your child's reading book with them. Please remember to date and write a brief comment each time you hear your child read. We will change the books on a Monday and a Friday if there is evidence that the book has been read.
See you on Monday!

Welcome

Welcome back everyone and a special welcome to the new children, mums and dads! Last week was great. The children have settled in amazingly well and we are very proud of them all

In phonics we have revised oral blending and segmenting and in maths we have been learning to recognise and write the numbers 1, 4, 7 and 5.
Looking forward to seeing you all next week!
