Robins (Nursery/Reception) - Miss Kalnins, Miss Farmer and Miss Newsome
Welcome to our class page. We are the Robins!
Welcome back after our lovely (and finally sunny) half term break... We hope you had a great time and are all ready for summer 2!
Our topic this half term is all about Superheroes! We will be looking at fictional heroes, people in our community who help us and in the last few weeks it'll be the children's choice of topics!
In Religious Education, we are beginning our new topic of 'Dialogue and Encounter'. We will be doing lots of lovely creative activities, learning all about different faiths, including their beliefs and practices.
In English, we will begin with the story 'Supertato!'. We will be learning lots of new vocabulary, writing sentences in Reception including capital letters and full stops and re-reading what we have written. In Nursery, we will be sequencing images depicting key events in the story, and we will use the images to retell the basic storyline.
In Phonics, we will continue our carpet sessions where we will be learning set 2 sounds and reviewing all of set 1 'special friends'. We will be doing lots of dictation in our lessons.
In Maths, we will be focusing on composition to 10, comparison and counting. We will also be looking at patterns and consolidating what we have learnt this year.
In our 'Understanding the World' lessons we will be learning all about the people in our community 'who help us'. We will be celebrating the National Armed Forces Day and the NHS' birthday!
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 last 7 weeks together!
Miss Kalnins, Miss Farmer and Miss Newsome.
PLEASE FIND OUR MEDIUM TERM PLAN FOR Summer 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 Tuesdays
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.
