Robins (Nursery/Reception) - Miss Kalnins, Miss Newsome and Mrs Entwistle
Welcome to our class page
We are the Robins!
Welcome back to school after our first half term off! I hope you all had a lovely, restful week. :)
Our topic this half term is Houses and Homes. We are beginning the half term with our first text - Funny Bones then moving onto The 3 Little Pigs.
In Religious Education, we are continuing our topic of 'Prophecy and Promise'. We will be doing lots of lovely creative activities, learning all about the Bible, Mary and moving on to the celebrations and preparations of Advent in the run-up to Christmas!
In English, we will begin with the story 'Funny Bones!'. We will be learning lots of new vocabulary, we will be acting out the story in many ways and doing lots of writing and mark making.
In Phonics, we will continue our Phonics lessons, and we will be perfecting our knowledge of all of set 1 sounds. We will then move onto the 'special friends' before Christmas.
In Maths, we will be focusing on comparison of numbers, composition of numbers to 5 and moving onto 2D shapes.
In our 'Understanding the World' lessons we will be learning all about each other's homes. We will be comparing homes from around the world, homes from the past and animal homes too!
We also be learning about Diwali, the festival of light and we will make our own Diya lamps to bring home!
In Expressive arts, we will be doing many activities, such as role-play and music and movement. We will be getting messy exploring with lots of paint and other materials. We will be focusing on sharing resources and communication and language through our masterpieces!
Please make sure you are all checking Class Dojo when you can - there will be weekly photos and messages.
If you need to get in touch or you have any further questions please come and see us on the door, email or message us on Class Dojo.
Let's have an amazing first half term together. We can't wait to get started!
Miss Kalnins, Miss Newsome and Mrs Entwistle.
PLEASE FIND OUR MEDIUM TERM PLAN FOR Autumn 2 ATTACHED BELOW:
Phonics
Phonics is taught every day and children are regularly assessed and re-grouped according to their sound knowledge, accuracy and fluency in reading.
Reading
Once your child can blend words independently, they will receive a 'blending book' to read at home every day. Once your child can read simple sentences, they will bring home a reading book which should be read at home at least 3 times a week. This will ensure your child gains more confidence and becomes more fluent in their reading.
P.E is on a Thursday afternoon
Please ensure your child has a full P.E kit in school. They will need a black pair of shorts, plain black joggers or leggings, a plain white t-shirt and pumps/trainers. All items will need their name clearly written on them. This is extremely helpful when the children are dressing and undressing for P.E.
