Poppy Class - Nursery/Reception

Welcome to Poppy Class!

Class Teacher: Mrs Hanson 

Teaching Assistant: Miss O'Connor

The Early Years is an exciting and important stage in children's lives. Reception builds the foundation of children's learning and enables them to learn to become independent, resilient learners in an exciting, interactive environment. At St George's Children will have the opportunity to explore both the indoor and outdoor, building relationships in a safe, secure and happy environment. 

 

 

The text we are sharing this week is......

Phonics

In Phonics we follow Read Write Inc a systematic synthetic phonics programme. Children develop reading fluency and comprehension, spell and write with confidence and learn to articulate their ideas and understanding.  

Supporting your child at home|:

 

• Use pure sounds, not letter names. Watch the ‘how to say the sounds’ parent film on Ruth Miskin:Ruth Miskin
•  Watch the ‘Reading the stretchy sounds with your child’, ‘Reading the bouncy sounds with your child’ and ‘Reading the digraphs with your child’ parent films on Ruth Miskin to see how to teach Set 1 sounds.Ruth Miskin
• Practise reading known Set 1 Speed Sounds cards speedily. If needed, show your child the picture side of the card to help them remember the sound.
• Read the parent information booklet below:

Reading at Home - Booklet 1

 We teach children to read and spell using Fred. He is a toy frog who can say the sounds in words, but not the whole word. Children have to help him.

To help children learn to blend, we say the sounds as Fred and then children repeat the sounds and say the whole word.

Here are two ways you can use Fred Talk at home:

1. play Fred Games together – see Fred Games document on Ruth Miskin:Ruth Miskin
2. speak like Fred throughout the day e.g. time for l-u-n-ch! Let’s p-l-ay!

•  Watch the ‘Sound-blending’ parent film on Ruth Miskin:Ruth Miskin

Maths

In Maths we follow Mastering Number it aims to secure firm foundations in the development of good number sense for all children from Reception through to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim over time is that children will leave KS1 with fluency in calculation and a confidence and flexibility with number. Attention will be given to key knowledge and understanding needed in Reception classes, and progression through KS1 to support success in the future.
