Robin Class – Reception, Y1 & Y2

Home Work

Please enjoy exploring books with your child daily. Whilst looking at books together mix up who is the reader, your child can also be a storyteller by ‘reading’ the pictures to you and talking about what is happening on the page. Have fun creating sound effects, animal noises, talking about what has happened on a page, reflecting on character’s feelings and recalling repeated lines together. The more you talk together, the more words your child will learn.

Once your child can blend sounds to read words, we will start sending home books that the children can read through applying their phonetic understanding. When your child reaches this point, please listen to your child read three times a week for five minutes and record what they have read in their reading record book. Each time we spot a child who has achieved this we will award them a house point, thank you.

Snacks

We will provide your child with fruit during the morning snack time, those who are 4 years old will also be offered milk. Please bring a piece of fruit in their bag if you would like them to have a second snack during the afternoon.

Book Bags

Please ensure your child brings a named water bottle and their Willow Park book bag containing their reading books into school every day.

PE Days

Robin Class will be doing PE Tuesday afternoons. Please ensure the children have their PE kits with them to change into.

If you have any worries or concerns, please come to the classroom at the end of the day.
