Reception have continued to explore the ocean, thinking about ocean creatures and how to keep them safe. We have been thinking about what we can do to keep plastic off our beaches and oceans.

We are continuing to read increasingly long phase 4 words and have been practising writing simple sentences in phonics. The children are getting much faster at identifying adjacent consonants and are beginning to spot them when segmenting and writing.

This week the children have completed writing their 'My Amazing Body' non fiction books, concluding on a lovely page about what they love about their body. 

Alongside our book writing we have been thinking about how to keep our bodies healthy, we have spent some time this week thinking about 'germs and nasties' and stopping their spreading!

We have spent this week reviewing our phase 2 and phase 3 tricky words, please make sure your child is secure on these- please make sure your child is able to read these by sight.

In Maths, we have continued to focus on even numbers, noticing they are all double numbers! We have been using ten frames to make doubles up to 10.
