Spring term continues with our 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' theme. We will explore signs of Spring and make observations about changes in our environment as well as learn about new beginnings and new life. We will talk about animals and their babies and look at lifecycles. We will plant seeds and explore artwork relating to plants and trees.The half term includes many special celebrations and events including Eid, Easter, Mother's day, Comic Relief and Science Week.

Our chosen key text is ‘Errol's Garden' by Gillian Hibbs, where we learn about diverse families and communities and working together as well as aspirations and dreams. 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.
