This week we will be starting on our topic of summer. The children will talk and learn about the changes that take place. They will also discuss the differences to the other seasons that we have already learned about. We will go on a walk of the school site looking for signs of summer. When out and about with your child talk about the signs of summer they see.
This week in Phonics the children will be assessed against all of the sounds they have been taught so far as well as how they can segment and blend words to read. Continue to go through the daily with your child and hear them read every day. Below are some videos to assist and practice blending.

This week the children will consolidate their learning on finding and making doubles. The children will be encouraged to double numbers but also to say what number has been doubled, by finding the inverse. Drawing on knowledge of even and odd sharing from the previous small step, children may recall that all doubles are even numbers, as they are made up of two equal groups.
The children had great fun on their sponsored wheels day on Friday. They loved cycling/ scooting/ pushing their prams around the playground and also made lots of noise cheering their friends on. Thank you for all of the generous sponsorship money which we will be using to purchase resources for the children to use in continuous provision. We will update you in the Friday focus when we have purchased the equipment. If you have any outstanding sponsorship money then please send it in as soon as possible and we will update you with the total in the focus.
Hopefully the sun will shine over the next few weeks. Please remember to apply sun cream to your child in the morning and send them in with a sun hat so they can be protected while outside.
Have a lovely week
The Reception Team
