Welcome to our Reception Home Learning Page!
Please can you check your child's school shoes as we have a child who has mixed up shoes and has one size 10.5 and one size 11 so someone else must also have 2 different sizes. Please let us know as soon as possible if this has happened so we can switch them back. We have checked shoes at school but it would be great if you could do this at home also.
This week the children have begun their new topic Mythical creatures. We have begun learning about dragons and writing words, phrases or sentences to give some dragon some instructions. In maths the children have been practising sharing using objects to help them. We have also planted some grass seeds and been thinking about what plants need to grow.
Homework - Friday 20th June 2025
Take a walk either in the garden or in your local area, have a look at the plants and flowers. Do you know the names of any of them? Can your parents tell you the names of any? Discuss what they look like, feel like and smell like. Can your child take a photo of a tree or plant? Add the photo to Tapestry and add a comment about how they described what they could see, feel and smell. Could they remember the name of it when looking back through the photos?

Phonics
We will be sending some phonics practise home with you child in their book bag. Please help them to practise each night.
Please recap and practise these sounds. Once your child is confident with the SET 1 sounds begin practising and recapping the SET 2 sounds.
Reading
Your child has a reading book and a library book. The reading book is for your child to read and discuss with you and the library book is for an adult to read and discuss together. Please make sure your child's book and bag is at school every day so we can change them gradually through out the week. If the book bag is not at school we can not change the book. Please sign the yellow reading diary so we know you have read with your child at home and we can change their book, if it has not been signed we will not change the book. On a Friday afternoon the children will change their library book.
Outside play area
Please do not play with the resources and equipment outside before and after school. This is for safety reasons and we often set up in the mornings ready for the day ahead. Thank you so much for all your help and cooperation.
