Reception Team 2025/26 - Teacher Letters
Literacy
Literacy:
The children will continue to develop their writing skills through Drawing Club and focused skills weeks. In Drawing Club, the code will now be a simple sentence. The sentence will make their drawing do something crazy, silly and imaginative. There will also be two skills week where we will be specifically focusing on how to write a sentence.
Maths
Maths:
In maths sessions the children will be embedding their understanding of the numbers 6, 7 and 8. They will explore odds and evens and 1 more, 1 less. They will explore the composition of the numbers (knowing numbers are made up of 2 or more smaller numbers) using a part, part, whole model, e.g. 6 is the whole number and can be split into 4 and 2, 3 and 3 etc.
Other Areas of Learning
Our topic this half term is: Nature Explorers
During this topic we will be focusing on exploring, observing and understanding the importance of caring for the natural world.
The children will be planting seeds in our garden and taking charge of looking after them. We will have a mixture of flowers, herbs and vegetables. The herbs we grow will be used in the school kitchen for the lunches! Lets hope all the planting we do will encourage lots of bees and insects!
We will also be visiting forest school once a week where we will continue to develop our exploring skills!
