Reception
Class
3rd February 2017
This week we have really
enjoyed reading the Chinese
New Year tale of the monster
Nian. The children have been
acting out this story in the
Chinese village role play and
have been making Nian
monsters in the creative corner.
Next week it is the whole
school science week. We will be
looking closely at recycled
materials and the process of
melting. The children will also
be attending a science show on
Friday!
Maths
This week we have been
learning about the days of the
week. We used the story of
‘The Hungry Caterpillar’ by Eric
Carle to help us to learn the
order.
This weeks homework focuses
on consolidating our leaning in
numeracy this week.
Literacy
This week we have been
concentrating on sequencing
and retelling a story through
drama. Everyone worked
very hard in the role play
corner to retell the story of
Nian. Additionally we have
been using our phonics
knowledge to write
describing words.
In our guided reading we
have enjoyed looking at nonfiction texts about Chinese
New Year.
Phonics
This week we have learnt the
following Phase 3 sounds; oo and
oa. We have learnt that the oo
sound can make two sounds the
long oo (as in root) sound and the
u sound (as in foot).
Over the duration of next week
please can you complete these
sounds in your child’s sound book.
