The weather is warming up and we are exploring growth and new life. Our reading, writing and spelling is progressing so much in class we should all be very proud of the hard work we are doing.

We this term we are:
Religion
In reception we are an active part of the school community. We attend an infant liturgy and hymn practice weekly. In the classroom topics that will be covered in our Religion lessons include:
Celebrating: People celebrate in church
Gathering: Parish family gathers to celebrate Eucharist
Growing: Looking forward to Easter
Other Faith: Islam
Phonics
Term we will be learning the set 2 and 3 sounds. These can be very tricky for the children because there will be 2/3 letters making one sound or the same letters for 2 different sounds. Please keep learning these with your child. Below is a list of the letters with the rhyme that we use to help remind us of our sounds. Retaining these is a vital process for the children to master as it is essential to help with reading, writing and spelling.
It is really important that children are learning to sound and write these correctly.
