Reception
Summer 1
Welcome back! We hope you had a relaxing break and are feeling refreshed for an exciting new term ahead. We’re looking forward to seeing the children continue to grow, discover new ideas, and take part in the many activities we have planned.
This term, our focus will be on Toys Through History. The children will explore a variety of engaging learning experiences linked to toys from the past and present, discovering how they have changed over time. We will also be thinking about how toys were made, what materials were used, and how play has developed across different generations.
We’re delighted to start this new journey together and are excited for a term full of curiosity, creativity, and fantastic achievements!
PE
Our PE day will be on a Friday. Therefore, please can children come to school wearing their PE kits on this day. Please note that PE days will continue to change every half-term.
Homework
Homework will be given out each Friday and should be back in school by the following Wednesday. The children will have opportunities to showcase their homework and creativity during our Show and Tell sessions, sharing their ideas and achievements with the class.
Reading: Your child will bring home a library book for you to enjoy together. They will also bring home a Read Write Inc. (RWI) book to support their reading progress. The children are very excited to have their own reading book to share at home! Please ensure your child brings their library book and reading folder to school each day, as books will be changed weekly. Please sign the reading diary to show you've read with your child.
