This term we will also be talking about our own dreams and letting our imaginations take our learning to fun and magical places.

We have also really enjoyed practising and learning our songs for Norbury Fest and cannot wait for you to come and watch us perform.

Dream Jars

We are a little short on glass jars for our dream jar creations. If you use any glass jars over the half term, please do save them and send them in – thank you!
 
Imagine That!

Well, what a brilliant trip we had at Imagine That! We hope you have enjoyed looking at all the fun we had on Tapestry. We had such a brilliant time making snow and slime, watching a science show and exploring in the science and role-play areas (the adults had just as much fun as the children!). Thank you for all your contributions that allowed our trip to take place and also to our parent helpers who were invaluable in helping us on the day.
 
Play-club bags

This is a great resource that we have in Reception. We have been using them in school, but we wanted all the children in Reception to have the opportunity to explore them at home too.
​
The bags are aimed at developing children's phonics and language skills further. We will rotate the bags and who gets to take them home over the term. If your child receives a bag on the Tuesday, please send this back into school by the Monday the following week. We hope you enjoy exploring the Play Club bags together!

Dear Parents and Carers,
We have been really enjoying our learning all about our current Quest over the last few weeks. Last week and this week we have looked further into the ‘When do I?’ aspect of our Quest. We have taken our learning to look at the history of transport.
In Reception we are:

• Looking at different types of vehicles and transport
• Looking at similarities and differences between types of transport
• Finding out more about how transport has changed throughout history
• Exploring the vocabulary of past, present and future
• Creating our own modes of transports using different resources e.g. junk modelling, natural resources and using playdough
• Applying our phonic knowledge to our writing and focussing on using finger spaces between each new word
• Recognising and ordering numbers to 20
• Practically solving subtraction questions

Home learning
For the fruit and vegetable book character next week, Tesco have very kindly donated some to school. These will be outside at the end of the day today and in the morning if you would like to take an item.

Time table changes
Just to let you know of some timetable changes taking place for Reception:
The sharing of certificates, medals and achievements from outside of school in assembly, has now moved from a Thursday to a Tuesday. If your child has something they would like to bring in and share please do so on a Tuesday.

PE will now take place for Reception on a Friday morning.

Thank you so much for sending in your child's favourite book into school, we are really enjoying sharing these. Once these have been read in school we are sending this book back home.

Thank you so much,
The Reception Team
