Homework will be set every half term. Your child will be asked to work on a number of projects, designed to enrich the learning taking place in school.

Over the course of this half term please work with your child to complete the above. Each of the activities has been designed to support, enhance and enrich an aspect of the curriculum. We are looking forward to seeing the results of your work together. We are all very grateful for your support! Please hand all homework in by Monday 9th December 2019 In addition, we will be looking for every child to read at home with their parents every evening. Listening to children read will enable them to grow in confidence as they become fluent readers. Once children are able to read fluently and with expression and engage in discussion around their comprehension of the texts will be equally beneficial. Many thanks from the Reception team |
What are we learning?
Can web topic go here somehow?
How can I help at home?
One of the key ways every parent can help is to ensure that your child is at school every day and on time. Other than this, the main way you can help is by ensuring that your child reads every day, for at least 10 minutes with you, it is the most effective way of ensuring that your child progresses and learns outside of school.
Additional Information
We are always making lots of amazing creations using junk modelling. Please may we have any of your recyclable materials from home.
We are also collecting old pots, pans and utensils to develop our outside area. We would be very grateful for any donations.
At the end of every term, we will invite you in to share your child’s learning with them and to look at their books. This term the date for this will be Thursday 12th December 2019 at 3pm.
In Reception, we are keen explorers and spend lots of time in the garden. We will go out no matter what the weather! As the weather, gets colder and wetter please ensure your child is in school with a waterproof coat. We ask all children to keep a pair of named wellington boots at school to use throughout the year. Please pass these on to your class teacher.
If you have any questions, please talk to Miss Hall and Miss Weeks
Thank you,
Miss Hall and Miss Weeks
