Reception have had a great first week back!

This week the children have begun to learn the first phase 3 phonemes, and have been reviewing phase 2 tricky words.

In Maths we have continued to practise subitising numbers up to 5, and using spatial language to describe arrangements.

Home Learning - 9th January

Phonics - Please use the homework sheet to review the new phonemes learnt this week.

Please continue to review all phase 2 tricky words as your child needs to be able to read these by sight.

Maths - Please cut out the flash cards and use these for subitising games with your child.

- Turn all flashcards upside down and see if your child is able subitise the number as soon as they turn over the card, and match it to the correct numeral.

-Challenge your child to use objects to create the same arrangement on the cards. Encourage them to use spatial langauge to explain how they see the pattern (e.g. 2 on top and 2 at the bottom).

Reading - Please ensure you are reading with your child and signing the reading record.

Phonics - Please use the homework sheets from all the previous weeks to review and practice all phonemes learnt this term. Your child will bring home a copy of the tricky words learnt so far this year. Please cut the sheet into individual cards and your child needs to recognise these by sight as they cannot be sounded out.

Maths - Please practice counting forwards and backwards to 20 with your child, they should eventually be able to do this independently.

Reading - Your child will not be bringing home a Wandle reading book until next term. You will find an E-Collins log in stuck inside your child's reading record. You can use this to log into the the website below to access a range of Phonics books for your child to read online. *Please note that E-books cannot be accessed via Kindles.
