What a great first half term we’ve had in Reception! We’re so proud of how well the children have settled and how much they have learnt in just eight weeks. It was lovely to share their progress with you at our parent-teacher consultation meetings. Mrs Long will rearrange her appointments after half term once her voice has fully returned!
Please refer to our previous swimming post for the dates of our upcoming sessions. The children are really excited and have loved visiting the pool over the last few weeks.
This week, we’ve enjoyed reading Room on the Broom and had great fun painting pumpkins and investigating what was inside.
The children also put their phonics skills to the test by completing a spooky phonics trail, spotting sounds along the way and playing a game of Pass the Pumpkin! When the music stopped, we had to write words to match the objects, such as hat, cat and bat.
Please check your child’s book bag for a phonics sheet showing some sounds and tricky words to practise over half term. Remember, little and often is best!
Finally, we hope you all have a wonderful, restful half term. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing everyone again in November!
