Welcome to Reception's class page

This week we have been reading 'A Farmer's Life For Me' by Jan Dobbins. We've enjoyed thinking about all the jobs a farmer does and even looking at what products come from some of them. 

We've also had a go at still life painting with our left over harvest vegetables and using some word banks to write the names of animals we might see at the farm.

We have also continued with our phonic lessons. So far we have learnt the sounds';

's', 'a', 't', 'p', 'i', 'n','m', 'd', 'g', 'o', 'c', 'k', 'e', 'u', 'r' and even the digraph (two letters one sound) 'ck'!

A game that we have enjoyed playing in class is 'what am I thinking of?'. Using the sounds we have learnt you could try sounding out a word for your child to blend back together e.g. c-a-t, -d-o-g, s-o-ck. How many words can they blend? We have lots more sounds to learn, so all the practice of spotting the sounds in print, blending and writing them really helps. Along with last weeks tricky word 'is', we have also learnt the Tricky Word 'I'. Why not write them and stick them around the house as 'passwords', just like we do at school.

Have a great weekend.
