Reception Home Learning Wednesday 3rd March
Before we begin here are our reminders for coming back to school.
- Please please remember to send your child into school on Monday with their phonics folder containing thier board, pen (understandably some of these will have run out and do not need to be returned) and rubber – this is the most important thing to remember as we need them to be able to continue teaching phonics in school.
- Please return the dice, number track and part-part whole laminated sheet in the large plastic home learning wallets but feel free to keep the other resources.
- Please remember to book a hot dinner for your children – unless they are having a packed lunch.
- Packed lunches need to be healthy and balanced – a sandwich or wrap, a piece of fruit, a yoghurt and a biscuit is plenty of food for a child in Reception, often children have so much food they struggle to eat it. No sweets and chocolate bars.
- Please send in any work that your child has been doing at home as we will stick it into their books when they return to school.
- Tuesday is PE day, the children should come into school wearing their PE kit, if it is cold, of course they can wear their jumpers and leggings/joggers.
- Additional Snack The council provide a fruit snack everyday free of charge, but we ask for £1 per week to provide the children with an additional snack to have during our ‘Snack and Chat’ sessions.
- Thank you

This activity was a particular favourite of some of yours. You don’t need to have more than one type of hooped cereal but its great for making patterns with if you have. Some of you were very creative with your methods for holding the spaghetti too!
