Dear Parents
We have come to the end of your child’s third half term with us! It is hard to believe that they are already half way through their Reception year!
This term we have been very proud of their achievements with word lists and we look forward to more exciting progress next term. This term they also really enjoyed their learning about our Transport topic, especially our visit to the Fire station. Thank you to all the parents who helped with this and well done to all the children for their excellent behaviour on the visit.
Our next topic for Spring Term 2 is Traditional Tales. We will be exploring several popular tales to develop the children’s use of story language through reading and role play.
Don’t forget about World Book Day coming up on the 7th March. The children may come to school dressed as their favourite book character. You can be as creative as you like coming up with costume ideas. Remember, you don’t have to buy a special costume for your child. You could create your own costume, discussing ideas with your child. See link below for some great ideas.
Please use this half term term to get your children observing the changes in the environment as we start merging from Winter into Spring. We love to hear about all the things they have noticed such the new shoots on trees, birdsong in the mornings, longer daylight hours, etc.
Also see further down this page for useful Phonics videos and important dates for your calendar.
We hope you have a restful half term.
Kind Regards,
Reception Team
