Ladybird

Welcome to Ladybird Class

We hope you had a lovely half term holiday and are excited for all the fun things we will be learning this half term!

This half term our topic is We Love To Read. During these sessions the children will be taking part in all things reading! We will be reading a variety of different books both fiction and non-fiction and having discussions about these. To link with this topic we will be walking to Sandhurst Library on Monday 10th March where the children will have an opportunity to explore the library and read some more stories!

In Maths, we will start the half term by looking and length and height, we will be using the words tallest, shortest, longer, shorter, heavier and lighter to compare different measures. We will end the half term by looking at the numbers 9 & 10, exploring their composition and how we can represent them in different ways. Our KIRFs this half term are number bonds to 5 so please keep practising these at home.

In Literacy we are going to be looking at the story 'The Tiny Seed' by Tim Carle, 'The Extraordinary Gardener' by Sam Boughton and 'I will Never Not Eat a Tomato' by Lauren Child. These books are really exciting and we are looking forward to reading them. The children have been working really hard with their writing recently so we are very excited to see more of this over this half term.

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 March . 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 has now started 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 coat 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.

Miss Sanders :)
