Reception week beginning 26.06.17

This week we will be reflecting on our year in Reception and what we have learnt and our favourite memories.

Literacy Focus: - This week we will be writing about our memories of our Reception Year in school and what we have learnt and enjoyed doing.

Phonics Focus: - This week during early morning work we will be revisiting digraphs and trigraphs from the Letters and Sounds Programme. Next week (week beginning 03.07.17) we will have a final assessment to find out the letter sounds which the children know confidently at speed. Don't forget you can revisit the sounds on the Mr Thorne Does Phonics website http://mrthorne.com/

Maths Focus: - This week we will be revisiting money and the children will be identifying coins and using them to make amounts to 10p / 20p. We will also have a shop in the classroom and the children will be encouraged to find the total cost of two items.
