The children are really enjoying our Caring for Animals topic this term. The children have enjoyed all the creatures that we’ve had in our classrooms, especially the beautiful pet tarantula that was brought in by Harvey from Chelsea. Many thanks to Harvey’s parents for bringing in their pet. The tadpoles are still with us and the children are learning about its different stages of development. Next week we hope to have another exciting creature visiting so please ask your children to share with you what they are learning about.
As this is the last week of the Summer 1 term, please remember to take your child’s PE kit home at the end of the week.
Kind Regards
Reception Team

SUMMER TERM 1 TOPIC: Caring for Animals
Theme: Minibeast
LITERACY:
Book Focus: The Bad-Tempered Ladybird by Eric Carle
We continue our learning about minibeasts this week with this delightful story about a very grouchy ladybird
Phonics: Group Phonics will focus on reviewing previous sounds and speedy blending of cvc and multisyllabic words
PSED: This week the children will talk about the things that make them grouchy, bad-tempered or angry like the ladybird in this week’s story. They will learn new words to describe different emotions
MATHS: This week the children will learn the concept of sharing in maths – how to share a quantity of objects into two equal groups to find half of a quantity. We will also review counting objects in groups of 2, 5 and 10. [/dropshadowbox]
