WHAT ARE WE LEARNING ABOUT?

Marvellous Me!

 

This half term we will be settling into our new Reception class, getting to know our class and school routines and learning all about each other. We will begin by sharing the chatterboxes that we made during the Summer holidays, these will give us the perfect opportunity to take turns, show good listening, speak in complete sentences and ask and answer questions.

 

As part of our theme 'Marvellous Me' we will be focusing on the following books:

Pete the cat rocking in my school shoes

Avacado baby

In every house on every street

The colour monster

The Smeds and the Smoos
