RECEPTION

Autumn 2

 

Another successful start to the half term!

We have begun our half term with lots of Autumn filled fun. We began learning about hedgehogs and hibernation through the story ‘It Was a Cold, Dark Night’, by Tim Hobgood. The children have loved extending their learning about animals by linking this to the story of The Spider and the Fly, where we have read non-fiction texts all about spiders.

In Maths, we are deepening our understanding of the composition of numbers to 5 and above, including building on our subitising skills and finding one more and one less. We are learning how to use a five frame or a tens frame to help us with this.

Notices:

Nativity

We will shortly be sending out information regarding our Nativity Performance, which will be on Tuesday 12^th December. Please look out for this letter and support your child to learn their lines/practise their songs and gather their costume. We are so excited to be performing to you!

Homework

Thank you for supporting your child with their homework and sending it in. It has been brilliant to see their homework online. Please continue to support your child and let us know if you have any queries.

PE day

PE is on Tuesdays. Please bring in named PE clothes for your child to change into for PE on this day.

Clothing

Please bring a named spare set of clothing in for your child, which they can keep in a carrier bag on their peg. This is to ensure that they have something to change into during the day with the muddy/wet weather and/or if they have an accident on the way to the toilet.

Please name all clothes.

If your child comes home with anyone else’s clothing in their bag following PE day, please do return it to us the next day and we will ensure it gets back to the child. Please check all clothing to ensure it is yours, any named or incorrect items can be returned to us.

Footwear

If your child has a spare pair of wellies, please bring them into school for the wet weather. The children love to play in the outdoor learning area, even when it is a little wet. This will support them to continue their learning outside, whatever the weather.

School dinners

Remember to order your child’s school dinner via the ‘Aspens Select’ website https://select.aspens-services.com// by 8am. 

All food brought in for packed lunches must be nut and sesame free (this includes seeded bread).

 

If you have any questions, as always please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
