Literacy

In our literacy lessons we are learning about the traditions of Christmas, such as decorating your home, having a Christmas dinner, and giving and receiving presents.

When is it celebrated? How do people celebrate Christmas? Why do people like to celebrate Christmas?

Maths

In our maths lessons, we will be learning about composition e.g. what are the smaller numbers that make greater numbers. We will learn about parts and the whole e.g. 5 is the whole, 3 and 2 are parts.

Phonics

In Phonics this week, we are learning the following phonemes/ graphemes:

sh, th, ng, nk

Please continue to support your child with completing their phonics homework weekly.

Things to remember

This week on Thursday we are having our school Christmas Dinner. Make sure to ask your child about it at the end of the day!

Also on Thursday, at 2.15pm our Reception children are performing their very first concert to celebrate the Nativity story. Children and staff have been working very hard behind the scenes to create a beautiful performance for you.

We look forward to seeing you then!
