Stars of the Week: Jack and Liv
Jack and Liv have been helping to organise the classroom this week. Both have enthusiastically aided the adults to sort different areas of the room, ready for the Transition Morning on Monday 22nd July!
This week in Mathematics the children have looked at word problems involving both addition and subtraction. For example: If Sam had 7 teddies but he lost 3 of them, how many teddies does Sam have left? 7-3=4. You can write word questions like this together at home and have a go at answering them, writing the corresponding sums.
In Literacy we’ve been re-telling stories in our own words and summarising the beginning, middle and end.
This is a skill you can also practice at home. After reading a book together, ask your child to summarise the main plot points. Help them to only relay the important things.
On Monday morning, the children will have time in their Year One classroom, with Miss Kandiah and Margaret!
On the final day – Wednesday 24th July, we are hoping to have to small treat for the children with individual popcorn boxes, cinema style. The children will be able to watch something together with their popcorn. The popcorn with be sweet and salty, nut free and egg free. If you would prefer your child not to have to the popcorn, please let us know in person or via an email to the office by Tuesday 23rd.
This is our final blog! I would like to take the time to thank all of the parents and families of the children in Reception class. The children are incredible, and your support has been wonderful. I will miss each and every child and I know they will have a fantastic time in Year 1. Thank you all so much,
Miss Hardy
