Notes for next week

As part of starting our new topic: 'Moving on' please can you send in a baby picture of your child. we will be using these to think about how we have changed over time. If you do not have a printer please email this and we will be happy to print it for you!

Ash and Beech have been enjoying the sun this week! We have had lots of opportunities to enjoy water play, and have been exploring outside (looking for minibeasts and different flowers!)

We have also been learning...

Staying safe outside

We have been discussing the different equipment and animals we saw at the farm and what we needed to do to keep safe around them.

As part of Railway safety week, we have spent some time thinking about what we do to keep ourselves safe when at train stations or around trains. And have tested our skills at recognising the different signs we might see!

Brilliant Handwriting & Independent Writing

We have continued to focus on our handwriting alongside our sentence writing this week. The children have been doing an amazing job at wiring sentences with increasing accuracy! They are continuing to gain confidence to go back and re-check their work and make sure it is correct, focusing on formation and the structure of their sentences.

We have spent time re-capping our tricky words that we have learnt so far in Reception.

Maths

This week we have been very excited to begin using our new rekenreks! The children have done a super job at beginning to subitise with their eyes, and moving the beads with 'one finger, one push!'

We will be assessing children to see if they have met their Early Learning Goals which form part of their final EYFS report before they move into Year One and start the National Curriculum. This is done by observing your child’s interactions in play and the work they do in class with teachers. They do not participate in any formal assessments. Please find a document below which shows the ELG statements the teachers will use to assess your child. Please feel free to talk to your class teacher about these if you have any concerns.
