Last Blog of the Year- Reception 17/07/20

First of all we would like to say a big thank you to you and your children for working so hard over the last few months. It’s been lovely to see the children’s engagement and enthusiasm towards their learning continuing even in these unprecedented times. It has also been equally as humbling to see parents/carers willingness and ingenuity to keep their children engaged in their learning. All the team have loved seeing their work and progress on Tapestry and on Purple Mash. Remember to take a final look at the Reception Photo Album to see if your child’s work has been displayed. Thank you again from the Reception Team.

 

Tapestry: Tapestry will remain online over the summer if you choose to add observations of your child. However, please be aware that these observations will not be viewed on commented on over the summer, but will be passed on to the Year 1 team.

 

Downloading Tapestry Journals: You should have received an email from school and Tapestry regarding downloading your child’s Learning Journal from Reception. You have 3 weeks to download the journal from the date of the email, if you do not download within this period, please contact the school in September and they can submitted it again for you.  

 

Reading: On Google Classroom there is a list of Reading Books from Rising Stars if you would like some additional reading over the summer. Unfortunately these will not go towards your child’s overalls ‘reads’.

 

Google Classroom: Don’t forget to check out the song Reception Staff have created on Google Classroom for the Children.  Enjoy J

 

The team and I would like to wish you all a healthy and happy summer and all the best for Year 1.

Literacy WB 18.05.20-Elmer by David Mckee

Elmer-First watch the story. You can listen to Mrs Sweetman read the story to you on Tapestry Memo’s or you can use the link below in the Literacy folder.

More information and resources can be found in the Literacy folder below.

Now discuss the story with your grown-ups!
Who are the characters in this story?
Where does this story take place? What is it like there?
What was special about Elmer? What sort of personality did he have?
How do you think Elmer felt to be different?
What did Elmer decide to do?
Is it a good idea to pick berries that you find growing outside? Why not?
How did the other creatures treat Elmer differently when he was in disguise?

Set Task: Draw a picture of Elmer on paper. Can you label colours you see on Elmer? Can you write a sentence about how Elmer is feeling in the story?

Please encourage your child to use their growing phonics to write, let them;
1- Say the word slowly.
2- Listen for the sounds that they can hear.
3- Write them down in that order.
Remember- the words need to ‘sound’ right, they DO NOT NEED TO BE SPELLED CORRECTLY! At this stage we are building the children’s confidence to use the sounds that they know! The exceptions are the irregular or ‘tricky’ words which the children are learning off by heart! (Tricky words are on the phonics sound mats, please have these mats available to your child when they are writing, this can be found in the Literacy folder below).

Please upload a picture of your child’s work to TAPESTRY.
