Dear Parents / Carers,

 

It was lovely to see the children looking so refreshed last week after the Christmas break. Lots of the children are now able to come in by themselves and independently sort out their belongings which is great.

We are back with a bang this week learning four new sounds. ‘L’, down the long leg, ‘ff’, huff and puff, ‘ll’, kick a ball at a wall and ‘ss’ Snakes like to hiss and kiss. The final sound clusters are new to St Martins now we are trialing the ‘Letters and Sounds’ phonics scheme so won’t be on your sound mats.

We will be revisiting addition by learning a new game using ‘The Three Little Pigs’ story as a starting point and learning to write simple number sentences.

We will also be learning how to use salt dough and pitched instruments including bells, a steel drum and boomwhackers!

For this term we will only have PE on a Thursday. Please send your children with appropriate winter kit including a hoodie and joggers.

 

Many thanks

 

Reception Teachers
