Reception - home learning

Hi all,

As a school we are always encouraing children to participate in home learning and whilst this is not compulsory, it is a great way to engage children and help to progress their learning. And starting early does help to set a positive precedent. In reception, home learning can take many forms; any Wow! Moments that come in to school are treated as home learning, home learning blogs (like this) give some ideas for things you could do at home, or any other making, writing, talking that you do at home that children are proud of. All of these are very welcome to come in to school. We have a daily slot where we show any home learning to the rest of the class and give children a chance to talk and explain about it.

For the next few weeks we'll be having a focus on name writing. So, with that in mind we usually have a bit of a home learning competition this time of year. Namely, display your name in as interesting manner as you can think of! This could be written with a pen, made from spoons, glitter or lego. Anything goes, as long as it displays your child's name. Please bring these into school and we will show them to the rest of the class. We look forward  to seeing lots of different and interesting ways of writing your name. And as is usual with a competition, I'm sure there will be a prize or two somewhere! Good luck!
