Ladybird

Welcome to Ladybird Class

I cannot believe we are in the last half term of Reception! It has flown by. We have a very exciting half term coming up where we will have a visit from 'Zoo Lab' and will partake in sports day!

This half term our topic is Animals. During these sessions the children will be looking at lots of different animals and animal groups. We will be looking at rainforest animals, artic animals, ocean animals and desert animals. The children will learn lots about these animals and the habitats they live in. I am looking forward to seeing some art work they create relating to our topic.

In Maths, we will start the half term by looking at sharing and grouping. Here the children will learn how to share and group amounts before looking at odd and even numbers. To end the half term the children will be learning all about map skills, they will use positional language to describe where things are on a map and create some maps of their own. Our KIRFs this half term are to use physical representations to add and subtract. Keep practising your KIRFs at home and I would love to see any number stories you have created!

In Literacy we are going to be looking at a variety of different stories. Our main focus this half term is going to be independently writing simple sentences and captions with the correct letter formation. Keep practising your handwriting at home so it is the best it can be!

In phonics we will be recapping our phase 3 phonics sounds, please keep practising these sounds and tricky words at home.

Forest schools will resume for Ladybird class from Tuesday 17th June. Please look out for the message that will be sent home to let you know which day your child will be doing forest schools.

PE will be continuing in Reception on a Friday. Please ensure that your child comes in wearing the correct PE kit every Friday.

Some reminders:

Please name everything.
Please bring a water bottle each day.
As the weather is changing all the time at the moment, please make sure that your child comes into school with a sun hat and a water bottle at all times.
Please bring a book bag or back pack each day, with home learning. All books are changed on a Monday.

Thank you.
