Phonics revision

We have been revising some of the phonic sounds that we have already learnt this year. This week it is ai, ee, igh, oa.

Here are some of the Little Wandle lessons that you can practise with your child at home to help them:

It would be great if you could take pictures/videos of the children practising their phonics at home and add it to their tapestry account.

 

Coronation bunting

We have been very busy in Reception this afternoon preparing for the coronation. We talked about King Charles the Third. We looked carefully at the Union Jack flag and then made bunting.

Blooming

After our focus on healthy bodies and vegetables last week, we have now turned our attention to healthy minds. We have been reading the book Bloom which is all about the effects of kind words.

We have also been examining some flowers. We have looked at the stems, the petals, the roots and the leaves. We talked about plants you can eat and plants you can’t eat.

St Georges Garden Centre

This half term, our role play area has become a garden centre with a café. You can browse the flowers, seeds and gardening tools we have available, smell the candles to decide which one you would like and then relax with a hot drink.

The children really enjoy using it and are learning how to work in a shop and how to be a good customer.

Vegetables

This week, we have been looking at the story ‘Oliver’s Vegetables’.

We have tried different vegetables to see what we liked-spinach was very popular and we all enjoyed the way that beetroot turned our hands pink.

Outside, we made a vegetable patch and talked about which way we should plant each vegetable looking closely at whether they grow under or on top of the soil-we loved the messy fun.

Dinners

This week, we have started to collect their own dinners. We have used please and thank you to tell the dinner ladies what we would like to eat and we have managed to walk carefully with our trays carrying them to our tables. We’re very proud of ourselves.

Well done Reception.
