In reception, the children will learn 45 'high frequency' words throughout the year. Here are three of our first high frequency words. They are a bit tricky as we can't easily use our phonics to decode them.

Can you think of a creative way to practise reading and writing them at home?

Here are some ideas...

​We have begun to explore our key text this term. It is a fantastic story book called 'A Brave Bear' written by Sean Taylor and illustrated by Emily Hughes.

(We have only just started the book and will not finish it for a week or two...please don't read the book as we don't want to know what happens yet!)
Picture

​In order to immerse ourselves in the story we are undertaking some research...
Picture
This weekend, see what you can find out about brown bears. You may want to think about these questions (but you don't have to answer them all!)

Where do they live? What's it like there?

What do they eat? How do they catch their food?

Do bears have cubs? How do they look after them?
You may find these links useful:

National Geographic

Just Fun facts

Andy’s Wild Adventures episode

BBC nature
Please scribe down any interesting facts your child has found out using these links.

You can send any photos of them undertaking their research to our class email address.

Welcome back to the reception blog.
Phonics
Challenge 1: what sound can you hear at the beginning of these pictures? (pig, pen, net) Can you find that sound on the mat?
Picture
Challenge 2: can you write these words? Remember 'say the word, robot the word, write the word'
You can use our phase 2 phonics mat to help you.

Maths
