Reception - Sprites and Unicorns

Summer Term 2022

We hope you all had a lovely break and look forward to another exciting term! 

Maths

In maths we will be following the Maths Mastery approach. Children will learn that collections of objects can be sorted into sets based on attributes such as colour, size or shape. We will look at how the same collection of objects can be sorted in different ways and look at comparing different objects. 

Read Write Inc Phonics

The children will be following Read Write Inc Phonics programme. RWI is a whole-school approach to teaching literacy  that creates fluent readers, confident speakers and willing writers. It integrates phonics with comprehension, writing, grammar, spelling and handwriting, using engaging partner work and drama.  The children will be assigned to groups according to their level and we will be assessing the children continuously, so that they can move through the groups as they progress. Please check Tapestry for updates on your child's group and when books are needed to be handed in.

Theme

Our theme for this half term is 'Amazing Adventure'. We will be looking at different types of transport and different places around the world. Our class books this half term will be 'Lost and Found', ' The Naughty Bus' and 'The Snail and the Whale'.

PE lessons

PE day will be Wednesday for both Unicorns and Sprites. The children will come to school dressed in their PE kit. 

Outdoor Learning

We will be visiting our nature area once a week as part of our learning. Please ensure your child has a pair of named wellies that can be kept at school. 

Reading at Home 

Reading everyday to and with your children is more important than ever. Please can you record the reading you do in their Reading Diary.

Thank you for your support.
