Reception – Library visit!

27.09.24

Hello parents and children,
It is so lovely to see the children building confidence and becoming more and more independent looking for things in the classroom, tidying up, getting changed for PE (buttons still very tricky, but practice makes you perfect 🙂 and carrying lunch trays.

In Little Wandle this week the children learnt 4 new phonemes:

We also started sound talking and blending some CVC words like tap, pan, sit and pat. Everyone is trying very hard and I am sure that in no time we will have a classroom full of confident readers 🙂

In Maths we talked about groups and the children were introduced to the concept of matching. We started by matching physical objects with other physical objects.

And of course the highlight of the week! Going to the library by bus 🙂 I am not sure what was more exciting… the bus ride or the library visit :)! We had a special animal hunt around the library, sang nursery rhymes, read a story and borrowed some books. We also had a special certificate and new library cards.

We also learnt how to scan library cards and which buttons to press so we can borrow a book!

I was absolutely impressed by how well the children behaved, putting hands up if they have a question, saying please and thank you, respecting other visitors by being quiet.

We also found out that you can borrow 30 books in one go!!! What a treat! I hope that you will continue taking your children to the library as this is such a wonderful place for having a family day out, enjoying reading and storytelling!

And finally congratulations for all your hard work and motivation! You truly deserve the awards, red sash and golden rosette!!!

Have a lovely weekend! Looking forward seeing you all next week.
