This week Reception have been continuing our Into the Woods theme through our story of the week A Chair for Baby Bear. The children did a super job of discussing the describing words used for the different types of chairs in the story and many enjoyed using the materials in our fine motor area to create pictures. We also found out that Goldilocks eats chocolate every day for breakfast, so we have written her a healthy breakfast menu!
We learned about numbers which join together to make 6 by using egg boxes (thank you for your donations) and Numicon in our Maths lessons; on Wednesday, during our Character Education lesson, we talked about recognising different emotions and times when we might experience them.
You may have noticed your child has changed to a different colour reading book – this is linked to their phonic assessment from December. Some groups have a photocopied sheet – this will replace a reading book until they are ready to start on the Read Write Inc books. We will be reassessing their phonic knowledge through a 1:1 assessment at the start of February, which we do every half term.
If you have any questions about reading, phonics, or any other aspect of the curriculum please let us know.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
The EYFS team.
