Welcome to Reception

2022-2023

We would like to welcome you to Reception and provide you with information about all the exciting things that are happening in our class.

Summer Term

We are continuing the Summer term looking at ‘Journeys’. We will be thinking about where in the world we have travelled to and use globes, maps and ‘Google Earth’ to locate places around the world. We will use our ‘You, Me and Everyone Else’ display to find out about the children’s families and where they have been in the world. We will find out about transport in the past and how people used to travel. We will be talking about where we are going on holiday and what we have to look forward to in the Summer holidays. Alongside this we will be looking forward to the transition to Year One by visiting the new classroom and meeting our new teacher.

Our 'Pathway to Write' book will be 'Supertato' by Sue Hendra and Paul Linnet

We will be:

• Looking how stories have a beginning, a middle and and an end
• Comparing characters in stories we read
  
• Writing new ways that Supertato can help his friends 
• Act out our favourite parts of the story
• Creating and writing our own stories based on the adventures of Supertato

See the Summer 2 newsletter below for more information
