Reception Reading Books

8th November 2024Amanda Wallace

This week the children have all received a reading book. It is the expectation that the children will read their book at home and this is recorded in the yellow reading record that came in their reading pack. This will support the children in their phonics skills and help to improve their reading fluency.

Books will be changed on a Tuesday and a Friday as long as it is evident in their reading record that they have read the book. If you need any support with anything reading please ask a member of the F2 Team.

Enjoy!

Extended Study – Take your pick!

6th November 2024Sophie Myers

There is lots happening and coming up in school over the next couple of weeks so why don’t you take some time to learn more about one of the events.

You could make notes and tell your crew all about what you’ve researched.

Create some slides linking to the event

Make a fact file or poster

Write a speech about why people should donate to the charities

You decide how you want to present your learning and make sure you share them with your crew!

The events you could choose from are:

  • Diwali
  • Armistice Day
  • Odd Socks Day
  • Kindness Day
  • Children In Need

Reception phonics

18th October 2024Amanda Wallace

This week in Phonics we have been covering the following sounds. The sounds will be sent out for the children to be practising to recognise the phoneme, say the phoneme and then write the grapheme.

The children are really starting to learn and retain those sounds but will need support to blend those sounds together. Have a go at the green words and the more they hear those sounds being blended the easier it will become.

Thanks

Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.

Extended Study – Half Term Challenge!

17th October 2024Sophie Myers

On November 1st it is National Authors Day!

With all of our hard work towards our Reading Library we’d like to know who your favourite authors are?

How could you celebrate your favourite author?

  • You could share a story with a family member and take a picture to share
  • Listen to a story being read by your favourite author
  • Listen to a podcast
  • Create a fact-file about your favourite author
  • Be creative and become an author and write your own story! We could even have these displayed in your reading area!

We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Have a lovely half term!

Extended Study – National Space Week

13th October 2024Sophie Myers

How many astronauts do you know?

As part of National Space Week, why don’t you choose an astronaut to research? You could make a poster or a fact file about your chosen astronaut.

You could even listen to the story of Tim Peake, Neil Armstrong and Mae Jemison. Did you know these Big Dreams, Little People book are quizzable on Accelerated Reader?

Reception Phonics

11th October 2024Amanda Wallace

This week in phonics it has been our consolidation week. We have been revisiting all of the sounds that we have learned so far and practising the phonemes and then writing the graphemes.

There will be no new homework sheet this week as we have not covered any new sounds. It would be great if you could support your child by going over the sounds that we have taught so far on the previous homework sheets and have a go at reading the green words.

Below are the sounds we have learned so far.

Enjoy!

Extended Study – National Poetry Day

1st October 2024Sophie Myers

On Thursday, it is National Poetry Day! As it links with this weeks Reading Week it would be great to see lots of you get involved.

Below is a link to the official website where it tells you lots of information about the day and ways that you can get involved.

The theme this year is COUNTING. I wonder how many of you could write a short poem linking to the theme?

On the same link, it shows you lots of examples of poems. You might even want to practice one of them at home. Would you have the courage to perform the poem to your crew?

Send photographs, videos or bring in your poems – We can’t wait to see them!
