SUMMER 2: WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

What a wonderful world 

 

For our final term of learning in Reception, we will be learning about and celebrating our ‘Wonderful World!’ We will celebrate and educate ourselves with World Ocean’s day on June 8th and learn about how we can ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ to clean our oceans. Before our INSET days, the children in Reception will be celebrating how amazing we have been this year and reminisce about all of the WONDERFUL activities and memories we have shared this year. In addition, we will be having six afternoon sessions at Nottingham Ice Arena, which will be a fun and exciting experience for all.

                            

       In Phonics, we will continue to consolidate Phase 3 sounds and read them in longer words such as crowds, trains, balloons, glimmering and lunchbox. Whereas, some of our children will be reading simple phase 3 words like goat, light, hook, beard and chair. In English, we will be learning to write longer words and simple sentences. Furthermore, we will challenge our children to use capital letters, finger spaces and full stops in their writing which is great preparation for Year 1. We will also be reading. In maths, we will be using rekenreks (picture above) to link familiar representations such numbers of fingers to representations on the rekenrek frame. We will also be delving deeper, becoming more fluent with the composition of 10 and knowing our number bonds with ease.  

                        

       In our wider curriculum, we will be learning all about the ocean, the animals that inhabit it and how we can help in the fight against pollution. We will also be turning some rubbish into art with the help of ‘Somebody swallowed Stanley’.

Makaton CarPark Karaoke - What a Wonderful World - Singing Hands

Makaton #WonderfulWorld We do a lot of travelling by car between classes and events - so to pass the time we have fun singing and signing along with our eclectic playlist!. After what seems like months of singing Christmas songs, we were back at work this week so whilst driving about we put together the signs for "Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.
