Summer term begins with our 'Underground,Overground,Wandering Free' theme. We will be exploring our locality, thinking about the key features of where we live and thinking about how it has changed over time. We will celebrate Earth Day as we think about how we can look after and care for our planet before starting to explore places far away. We will learn about different transport types, old and new. Half term includes many special celebrations and events including World Art Day, Saint Andrew's Day, Earth Day and David Attenborough's 100th birthday.

Our chosen key text is ‘Grandpa's Island' by Benji Davies, where we learn about families, hopes and dreams, travel and different localities. There are beautiful illustrations to develop further understanding and vocabulary.

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 further weekly suggestions.

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.
