This Coming Week…
Dear Parents 02.07.18
Hello again!
- In literacy this week the Evil Pea (from Supertato) will be sending us a letter explaining that he has kidnapped all of the superheroes. Our task it to design and make a trap to capture Evil Pea. They will work together in teams to design, label and make a trap. It will be fun to see what the children think of!
- In maths we will be looking at money, matching pennies to coin denominations.
- In phonics: we will be continuing phase 4 and also focusing on learning to spell some of the tricky words that they need to know by the end of reception.
- This week the children will be spending some sessions in the year 1 classes and will soon be finding out who their teacher is for next year.
Reminders and requests:
- As usual: named hats, water bottle and sun block applied before they come into school please!
- Please could you send your child in with their library books ASAP as Mrs D will be dong a stock take in the next couple of weeks. Your child will be allowed to borrow a book over the summer.
- Multicultural Party: We would like to have an end of term celebration with the children, celebrating their year with us and the different family heritage of the children in our class. We will be asking you to please send in some food celebrating their culture as well as national flags and other objects that the children can be proud about to share with the children in early years. Previously we have all shared Sri Lankan rice, Irish bread and Hampshire strawberries.

This Week…
Dear Parents 25.06.18
Hello again!
• In literacy this week we will be doing our independent ‘rocket job’ as well as completing some more focused work with an adult. As always we will be encouraging the children to write independently in their play. It is lovely to see so many of them keen to write and show us their achievements.
• In maths we will be focusing on addition and subtraction problems, solving them in creative ways and thinking about which operation we are using. Is the number going to get bigger or smaller? Are we adding or taking away?
• In phonics: we will be continuing phase 4. Remember the link to phonics play if you want to support your child at home in this.

Reminders and requests:
• Could we ask again: We will be thinking about the Sacraments in RE this term and would be grateful for any photographs you may have of your child involved in their Baptism, attending a wedding or Confirmation or other special event. Thank you to those of you who have already sent in pictures. We will be looking at these photographs on Wednesday.
• Final parent drop in on Friday 29th June at 2.45. Please come along and share your child’s work.
• Could we please have your empty washing up liquid bottles for squirting? Please ensure that the squirty lids remain in place! Thank you!
• There are still a lot of children not coming to school with a water bottle. Please ensure that this is brought in daily as we are getting through a huge number of plastic cups and are trying to teach the children about looking after our environment. Thank you for your cooperation.
