English

This term our writing will be based on the book 'Little Red' by Bethan Woolvin. We will be writing traditional tale sentences and instructions.

Reading

Please read your child's reading book with them every day for 10 minutes. A little often has a huge impact on children at this age. Children need to have their reading books and diaries in their bags everyday, so they can be ready to be read with.  We change children's reading books every Friday.

Maths

In Reception, we follow the First4Maths scheme of work. This topic we will be comparing mass, counting beyond 10 and looking at bonds to 5 and 10.

PE

Our P.E days are Monday and Friday. Please ensure that children come to school in their P.E kit on these days. This half term, the children will be developing their ball and athletics skills.
