If you are looking for activities to continue your child’s learning over the half term, here are a few ideas;

• Name writing practice and holding a pencil with a 3 point grip
• Number recognition to 10 in and out of order
• Number recognition to 20 in and out of order
• Number formation practice to 10
• Counting items with 1:1 correspondence to 10
• Scissor control
• Getting dressed and undressed independently
• Recognition of the sounds; m, a, s, d, t, p, i and hearing these initial sounds in words.

Practicing these skills over the holiday will really help you child with their learning. If you want further clarification on any of the above activates please comment below 🙂

Enjoy your October half term

This week we have been learning the ‘p’ sound and words that begin with the ‘p’ sound.

Below you will be able to see one of our children modelling how to say the sound correctly and the phrase for writing the sound. Just in case you can’t hear him, he is saying “Down the plait and around his face”.

Ask your child if they can show you anything beginning with the ‘p’ sound at home and if they can write the ‘p’ sound.

Dear Parents and Carers,

This half term Reception will be having a ‘Gruffalo tea party’ where the parents are invited to join the children in the reception classrooms on Friday 23^rd October from 1:45pm until the end of school. The children will prepare sandwiches for the adults and the children to eat, and then you will be able to spend the rest of the afternoon learning and playing within the Reception classrooms and gardens. Younger siblings are also welcome to join in the fun. This is a wonderful opportunity for the adults to come and see how much fun the children have at school and the children will love being able to show you around their classrooms.

We hope you will be able to join us for this fun afternoon.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Jones and Mrs Coston
