Bears, bears everywhere!

This half-term in Year R the Cygnets and Ducklings started the half-term with a Goldilocks crime scene! We all used our detective skills to work out who had made such a mess. We found porridge, bowls, spoons and chairs. We have a range of suspects but once we looked at the clues we decided that Goldilocks fitted the crime.

 

During Spring 2 we will continue to support the children to compose a sentence and to apply the sounds they are learning in their writing. Please keep an eye out in their book bags as your child should be bringing home a ditty sheet, book or key sounds to practise.  The children are working so hard with their letter formation and as a year group we are focussing on all letters starting in the correct place.  Over this half term, some of the planned writing opportunities include crime scene description, retelling  and changing a character in the story We're going on a Bear Hunt. We are also excited to learn lots of new information about bears and make our very own bear fact files!

 

In Maths we will continue to build on their understanding of numbers to 20, develop our knowledge of adding and subtracting and using our number bond knowledge to support this. We will be taking part in a shape hunt and spending time looking at the amounts of sides and corners each shape has. 

 

We are excited to celebrate World Book Day this half-term and spend some time thinking about mums and important people in our lives. We will be ending the half term with a Teddy Bears picnic and some work around Easter, so we are hoping the Easter bunny may make an appearance as well!

 

Please remember to keep an eye on Tapestry as we do upload lots of lovely experiences and activities your child is taking part in to enhance their learning.

 

Please remember we need your child's PE kit on a Thursday every week, and they need to have their book bags everyday with their phonic folders.

 

Thank you for your continued support.
