Reception (Foundation 2)

Summer is finally here!   We hope you enjoyed some of the gorgeous sunny weather over the Easter holidays.  We are expecting some more nice weather over the next half term so please apply sun cream to your child before they come to school.

Our new topic is Sand and Sea.  Children will be comparing coastal features to features of a forest, features of a town or city and features of a desert.  The children will also explore the vast amount of sea creatures in our oceans and learn how our actions may impact their survival.

Check out the curriculum overview to see what exciting things we have planned for Summer 1.  The Summer 1 overview goes into more depth about what outcomes we will be helping your child achieve by the May half term break.

Reminders:

• We ask for a snack contribution of £2 per week per child payable every Monday morning. This is to give children a wide variety of choices for snack and to ensure they try as many new tastes and textures as possible.
• Please send your child into school with their own clearly labelled water bottle, school do not provide or sell water bottles and learning is thirsty work!
• Please ensure coats, hats, scarves and cardigans or jumpers are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
• Reading books will be changed each MONDAY. Please aim to read with your child each evening and comment in their reading records.
• PE day is TUESDAY. Children are to come into school in their PE kit and pumps must be left in school for them to change into.  Please speak to us if you are unsure of what your child is allowed to wear for PE.

As always, thank you for your continued support.
