Reception week ending Friday 4th December 2020

Date: 4th Dec 2020 @ 3:59pm

Continuing with our Emperor penguin theme this week the children labelled the penguin parts. They used their Fred Fingers by pinching the sounds they could hear to sound out the word. They then wrote each sound using the Read Write Inc phrases to support the correct letter formation. Please support your child by practising correct letter formation at home too. Thank you.

During our games sessions the children have used the large balls to dribble around the ice burgs and completed a penguin obstacle course in the ROLA! On Thursday due to the rain they practised penguin yoga!

We have explored the quickest way to release the frozen penguins from the ice. The children had some amazing ideas from putting them near a radiator to putting them in hot water - AMAZING!

Number seven has been introduced, and the children have discovered that there are seven days in a week and seven colours in the rainbow. See if your child can find any number seven’s at home. We would love to hear about it on a ‘Good News’ slip.

Today we have watched the short film of Raymond Briggs ‘The Snowman’. Next week, we can’t wait to use it as a stimulus for dancing, maths and craft activities.
