Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for all weather. In Reception, we value the learning that happens inside and outside of the classroom and enjoy all seasons.

EEXAT Online Learning Journals

Thank you to those parents/carers who have viewed, made
comments and contributed to their child's learning journals. 

Staff and children work together to create these journals, 
which follow your child's learning throughout the year.

If you are unable to access or have questions about the online learning journals, please see your child's teacher. 
We are very happy to help you with this.  

We would like to invite you to take part in our half termly learning projects this year. 
These hands-on 'mini' projects will give your child an opportunity to explore the world around them in a fun and exciting new way. Most importantly, your child will have the opportunity to work alongside their favourite teacher... YOU!

Project 4: What do I want to be when I grow up....

What to do? = Talk with your child about what job they might want to have when they are older

Write down! = 3 interesting facts about your child's chosen profession

Dress up! = choose a costume that represents your child's chosen profession

When do we need it? = Children are invited to come to school in their costume on Friday 5th April to share their ideas with their classmates. 

The children have been investigating a Crime Scene in the Reception Garden.

What is... RWI?

READ. WRITE. INC.

This year, your child will be taking part in a daily Read, Write, Inc. (RWI) phonics session. 

This is a very successful programme that will enable your child to read and write independently and confidently. Each day your child will learn a new sound and will be taught how to put these sounds together to read words. They will also practice writing these letters and gain the knowledge and skills to write words and simple sentences independently.

  Sound Set 1

Week 1: m  a  s  d  t
Week 2: i  n  p  g  o

Week 3:  c  k  u  b  f
Week 4:  e  l  h  sh  r
Week 5: j  v  y  w  th
Week 6:  z  ch  qu  x  ng/nk.

Your child has been given a Home Learning Book with the sounds they have already been taught. Please help your child by hearing, saying and writing the new sounds. You can also help by reading and practicing words that contain the new sounds.  Please ensure your child's Red Home Learning Book is returned daily. If you have any questions about your child's home learning, don't hesitate to ask one of the reception teachers.

Have you been on to access Teach Your Monster to Read? This will help your child learn their sounds and begin learning how to blend and segment words. Great for beginning readers! Click the picture below to go to the website. You can find your child's login details in their Homework Book.  

Barnaby Bear could be coming home with you!

Each week, Barnaby will choose a child to go home with for the weekend. Barnaby loves to go on adventures. If you go to the park or beach, take Barnaby with you - he likes to explore. Barnaby Bear has his very own scrapbook so that you and your child can write about your awesome adventures together. It would be great if you could take some photos also or even draw some pictures. We can't wait to hear all about your time with Barnaby Bear!
