PE will be taking place on Mondays. Please send PE kit into school, labelled with your child’s name and also in a labelled PE bag.
This half term, our topic is called
One Sunny Day
This unit will help the children to learn about what plants need to grow, the changes that occur linking to the life cycle of a plant, minibeasts and about the seasons Spring and Summer. The children will have the opportunity to develop a passion for gardening by becoming a Conway Gardener. They will learn how to look after the plants and they will have the responsibility of looking after them. This will develop wider knowledge, understanding and language relating to planting and gardening. The children will also gain a hands on experience with chicks, and watching them grow. The unit will also enable the children to investigate minibeasts and become a keen explorer.
Phonics
Handwriting
Useful Websites
In reception, we start teaching the children how to write in cursive. Please use the website and examples below, to help develop your child’s cursive handwriting.
At Conway Primary School, we teach phonics using the Read Write Inc scheme. The children are taught in small groups which focus on the specific sounds or areas of phonics that they are currently learning.
Reading
Reading is especially important in Reception as we are laying the foundations to create a love of reading. We are developing the children’s understanding of questions, the story and their vocabulary through story discussion. We are currently learning the initial sounds. We are supporting children to read CVC words.
Please read at home and make a comment or add a smiley face, with the name of the book so we can see that your child has read at home.
