Seaside Topic Day - 15th September 2021
We have had such a lovely first week at school with the children! Our first topic we are learning about is ‘Seaside and Holidays’. As an introduction to this topic we are going to have a ‘Seaside Day’ in school.
We ask that the children come in sensible seaside clothing, appropriate to the weather on the day. This could be shorts, T-shirt, hats and/or sunglasses. Please make sure everything is clearly labelled. We would like to offer the children ice-lollies and seaside treats on the day, and we are asking for a voluntary contribution of 50p for the day.
Thank you for your continued support,
The Reception Team
Our Classroom
One thing you can be working on at home is forming the letters in your name correctly. Remember you need a capital letter at the beginning, then lowercase letters for the rest of your name, for example Albert. It might be that you can write your name already but need to practise your letter formation, or that you are working on holding a pencil and forming the first letter.
It is important to work on your fine motor skills to make sure you can hold a pencil correctly to write. You can build the strength up in your fingers and hand by doing lots of fun things such as playing with pegs, playdough and threading.
Phonics
We enjoy singing the 'Phonics Song' and 'Tricky Word Song' at the beginning of every Phonics session.

Phonics Play is a great website to help embed what the children are learning in Phonics by playing games.
