End of Reception Trip
 
Miss Bell and Mrs Kerger were very lucky and joined our new Year 1's on their end of Reception school trip to Cotswold Water Park. Here are some photos of us having lots of fun! 
History:
 
"What were homes like in the past?" This term we are looking at different types of houses from the past. Our end of term challenge is to write a booklet to persuade someone to buy a house from the past. 
 
We will be reading the book 'Home' by Carson Ellis to support us in our learning. 
 
We will be comparing the past to the present and discussing similarities and differences. We will be sorting objects and pictures to help us understand how things have changed. We will ordering houses on a timeline and we will be discussing how the materials in which houses were made from have changed over the years.

Spellings and Reading
 
Please help your children to practise their spellings at home. We have a spelling test every Friday.
 
Your child's book change day is every Friday. Bookbags should be in school everyday, but especially on a Friday. You can also access your child's phonic reading book online through Oxford Owl and your login details are in the front of your child's yellow reading record. 
 
Our expectation is for you to listen to your child read at least 3 times a week. Please record each read in your child's reading record and we will be checking these every Friday when we change books. The children will be working towards reading awards which they will be presented with in assembly.
