Welcome back!

Hello everyone,

Welcome back to what is the final term in reception! The mind boggles with how we seem to already be at this point in the year. Fear not though! We have a little while longer to do some (hopefully) fun topic work and enjoy ourselves in the summer sunshine.... (hopefully). 

We have come back and sprung into the topic of Mr. Men. It has been something the children have shown an interest in throughout the year and it seems sensible to use this interest to do some learning. This week we'll be looking at a few Mr. Men stories and making some story maps in preparation for writing a story in the weeks to come. We'll also begin learning another story to tell. This time the story will be the Gingerbread Man. We'll be learning this in school this week so please ask children to retell it to you. There are actions that go with it. 

In maths this week we'll be learning about writing numbers the correct way round and continuing to apply our addition and subtraction skills in different ways. 

For writing this week we'll be doing a bit of recounting about what has happened in the holidays. It was lovely to see so many children coming in to school with diaries/scrapbooks about what they did in the break - some very enviable locations! 

Finally, this Friday we will be having a day to celebrate the Queen's 90th Birthday across the school. We'll be teaming up with pre-school again and doing some activities. If you are able to make/bring cake into school for the afternoon tea party we'll be having in school then that would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, if you're available to help on the day, let us know!
