Me and My World- Autumn 1
Welcome to Reception!
It has been a pleasure welcoming all your lovely children to Class 1. The children have settled so well into our class routines and we have been having lots of fun exploring our indoor and outdoor classrooms together.
English
In English we have been experimenting with mark making. We have been drawing pre-writing patterns and we have been learning new phonemes and graphemes.
The graphemes we will be learning in the first half term are:
s a t p i n m d g o c k ck e u r h b
Please help your child consolidate these at home.
Thank you :)
Maths
In Maths we have been representing the value of numbers 1-5. We are looking in detail at the different ways we can make a number e.g
2 and 3 makes 5,
1 and 1 makes 2
Please help your child at home with this consolidation
Thank you :)
In EAD (Art) we have been focusing on the famous artist Alma Thomas. We looked at her work and recreated some of her paintings using her style - we focused on line.
We painted:
wavy lines
straight lines
curved lines
zig-zag lines
dotted lines
It all helped with developing our fine motor and mark-making skills.
Topic
In Topic we have been learning all about ourselves and our families - where we belong.
We have enjoyed creating self-portraits and portraits of our family using lots of different media and materials in our indoor and outdoor classrooms. It has been lovely to hear about the caring relationships our children have at home.
