Term 6

Welcome to Term 6 in EYFS!  We can’t believe we are already at Beech Class and Maple Class last term in Reception!

As the warmer weather is finally here, please could you ensure your child brings a sun hat and water bottle to school each day. During the hot weather please apply sun cream before school. If you send your child to school with sun cream, please ensure that it is named and that your child is able to apply it independently.

This term, the children will continue to explore independent tasks as well as guided learning with an adult during English and maths time. In addition to their curiosity time where they are led by their own interests.

 

Our topic for this term is "Animals, Dinosaurs and Habitats".

We will be learning about:-

What the different types of habitats are.  How we can describe them. We will be naming farm animals, minibeasts, safari animals, sea creatures and dinosaurs.  As well as exploring how we can we sort them.

 

We will be looking at a variety of texts related to "Animals, Dinosaurs and Habitats".

We will be reading lots of lovely texts including ‘What the Ladybird Heard’, ‘Handa’s Surprise’ and ‘Commotion in the Ocean’. We will also think about things that have made us happy this year as well as preparing to transition to Year One. 

 

In maths this term we will be consolidating our learning on number.

We will be learning about sharing and grouping as well as talking about patterns and mapping.

 

We will be continuing with our phonics groups. If your child brings home a Read, Write Inc book, they will have practiced this book throughout the week at school. As it is a book that is familiar to them, they might be able to read it at home with increased fluency.

All children will continue to bring home a “sharing” book each week, for you to read with or to your child, as well as a Read, Write Inc. phonics book for them to read to you. ​

A phonics homework sheet will be sent out every Friday.

 

Our PE day this term will be on a Tuesday.  Please ensure children are dressed in their P.E. kits with any earrings removed.  

Forest School will be on a Wednesday for both classes.

On Wednesday 04th June we have our trip to Tyland Barn.
