The children really enjoyed their trip to Ash End Farm on the 14th May 2014. We learnt that cows produce 26 pints of milk daily and goats only produce 8 pints. We saw lots of other animals and their babies.

Dear Parents/Carers,
This half term our topic is “Journeys”. The children will be learning about different modes of transport, holidays and places around the world. If the children would like to bring in any photos of trips or holidays, we would like them to share their experiences with us.
In Literacy we are focusing our learning on “The Train Ride” and non-fiction texts. If you have an opportunity to travel by train or visit a station, it would help support their learning. If you have any pictures of you or your children travelling on a train, please send them in!
In Maths we will be learning about 2D and 3D shapes and continuing with addition and subtraction through problem solving.
If you’d like any more information about this, please ask your class teacher.
There will be a Maths workshop for parents only, on Wednesday 30th April at 9 o’clock, delivered by Mrs Lawton.
There will be class assemblies by RM on Thursday 8th May and RL on Tuesday 20th May at 9 am. RW’s class assembly will be after half term on Thursday 12th June. We look forward to seeing you there!
Reception are very lucky to be going on a trip to Ash End Farm on Wednesday 14th May. A letter with more information will be coming to you shortly.
Please continue to support your child with their reading at home, and read with them every day. There is also “talk homework” on the Wednesday Letter which gives the children a chance to discuss a set topic with you at home.
We will also start sending home some key words and small tasks so please check your child’s book bag for these.
Thank you for your continued support concerning attendance and punctuality! Don’t forget, if your child gets 100% attendance for a week, they have the chance to take the Attendance Kitten home for the weekend and to win a prize in class.
Regards.
The Reception Team
