Our focus learning this week is:
Phonics:
- Learning to recognise the graphemes h, b, f, l and say the sound to match
- Listening to sounds in words including finding the initial sound
- Reading CVC words and matching them to the correct picture
- Phonics Assessments
Maths:
- To continue building on their subitising skills. Children will continue to use ‘perceptual’ subitising, which is instant recognition by saying the number of sounds that they can hear, such as claps or drum beats, without needing to count.
Fine motor:
- Following instructions to draw a face
This half term we are learning to:
- Build relationships – getting to know our teachers, adults and new friends.
- Settling into Reception – becoming familiar with our classroom and new surroundings.
- Learning our routines – practising where to put our belongings, lining up, tidying up and getting ready for different parts of the day.
Things you can do at home to support your child:
- Encourage independence – let your child have a go at getting dressed, putting on their shoes and coat, and managing their belongings.
- Practise turn-taking and sharing – through games and play.
- Encourage your child to talk about their feelings – reassure them that it is normal to feel a little nervous when starting something new.
- Talk about being in school for a longer day and reassuring them that their adult will be coming back, linking with prior learning of the story Invisible String
