Reception Newsletter
Week Beginning: Monday 5th December 2022
Our central idea:
Celebrations are important.
Next week our focus text will be | ‘The Nativity Story’ ‘A Letter to Santa’ |
Phonics | We will be learning the codes /ff/ and /ss/ and the sounds they make. We will be learning how to apply this into reading and writing by reading and writing words containing the sounds. |
Maths | Our Maths Inquiry sessions we will focus finding ‘more’ and ‘less’. We will be solving number problems using this language too. In our Maths Mastery sessions we will be recognising die patterns to 6 and link die patterns to numbers shown on fingers. |
Literacy | We will be learning how to hold a tool for writing. We will be writing the words taught in our phonics sessions as well as writing our letter to Santa! |
Inquiry | We will be learning about the Nativity story we are getting ready to perform. We will be identifying the structure of a letter as well as writing our own letter to Santa. We also will be decorating our Christmas Tree! |
