Hello children, parents and carers,
I really can’t believe that today we have finished our first half term! The time went so quickly! But we also achieved and learnt so much…from exploring the classroom, to remembering our friends names, from being brave to come in without mummy and daddy, to forming lovely friendships. We learnt lots of new graphemes and solved many mathematical problems. We practiced singing and dancing, read lovely books and played musical instruments. From being insecure and not sure how to write our names we are now beginning to write our first CVC words. Absolutely impressive!!!
In Little Wandle this week we played lots of games, thinking about initial sounds, orally blending words like C-A-R and D-O-G, and remembering all the graphemes and phonemes learnt so far. As already mentioned we also spent the week assessing the children and finding out how to support them if needed.
RE
In the next 4 weeks the children will be learning about Baptism as a sacrament and that a sacrament is something that uses signs – a combination of words and actions. The focus will be very much on how we welcome a new baby into any family and then how a baby is welcomed into the family of God. Throughout the topic there will be opportunities for you to help your child make the sign of the cross, to pray and to listen to how much God loves them. Your child will enjoy role playing some of the signs and symbols which take place during a baptism in a Catholic church.
It would be lovely to see photos or any other special items from the Reception children’s own Baptism. This can be a candle, special card, photo, blanket or gown. They will be shared with the class and then safely returned home.
Harvest assembly
Thanks to all who were able to come by and make it a memorable experience for us. The children did really well singing and doing the actions. Your generous donations are much appreciated!
And finally but not least, congratulations for all your hard work and motivation! You truly deserve the awards, red sash and golden rosette!!!
