Home Learning Expectations

Homework goes out to children on Thursdays and should be returned to school on Tuesday. These will include a reading book as well as Maths and Handwriting activities for you to complete with your child.

Please encourage your child to complete their work independently.

Your child will be supported by an adult to change their reading book each week and you should try to read at home to your child every night. Your child also brings home a weekly Read Write Inc reading book. Please help them to say each sound that each letter makes before blending the sounds to read the whole word.

Spring Term

This term we have been very busy in Reception! We have been learning about Superheroes! We had some real life superheroes coming into visit us, the firebrigade and a nurse. They helped teach us how to keep ourselves safe.

We also celebrated Lunar New Year where we wore red clothes and had parent readers read stories to us in Mandarin and Cantonese. We also tasted some traditional chinese food and made our own dragon to do a dragon dance.
