Summer term continues with our ‘Underground, Overground, Wandering Free’ theme where we will now learn about transport, different habitats and localities including the rainforest and under the sea. We will also learn about different celebrations and events: Father's day, sport's day and our trip to the zoo as well as focus on transition to year 1.

Our chosen key text is ‘Grandpa's Island’ by Benji Davies, where we will develop empathy for the characters and their issues and dilemmas, use the illustrations to gain further meaning to a story and learn about our different places.

Children receive two books each week: an independent book marked with an 'I', which are books children should be confident to read without support and a supported book marked with an 'S', where there may be a few words that you may need to help your child with. Children will also choose a class library book each week for you to enjoy sharing together. This one is ideal to further support your child with their comprehension skills.

Please return the communication folder every Monday morning with the reading diary and books so that they can be returned to you each Tuesday afternoon. We ask that children read each reading book over at least three days each week. Please make sure you clearly indicate in your reading diary that you have done this. There are also additional books shared on Oxford Owl so please see Evidence Me for details.

PE - Reception has PE on a Tuesday. Please send your child to school in their kit on these days. Please make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
