Term 3- How are real life heroes different to superheroes?


Happy New Year! We hope that you all had a lovely Christmas and spent some wonderful time with your families. We are very excited to welcome you all back and dive into a new term filled with fantastic learning and fun!

Are you ready for some new learning? We hope you are, as we have lots of exciting things planned! This term's whole school question is, "Why lead if you can follow?" In Reception, we will be exploring how real-life heroes differ from superheroes. To support our learning, we will enjoy some interesting stories and animations like *Supertato, PAW Patrol, PJ Masks, Cops and Robbers*, and *Zog and the Flying Doctors*.

We'll start the term by learning about New Year celebrations in the UK and follow up by discovering the vibrant celebrations of Chinese New Year! We'll talk about different customs, learn about roles in society, and create lots of beautiful artwork.

In Phonics, we will continue using Little Wandle scheme to learn Phase 3 sounds, and there will be a big focus on Tricky Words. Please support your child in learning them as much as you can. Please regularly practice new sounds and review the already learnt ones. It is also important for children to practice blending the sounds to make words and segmenting words back into sounds.  You can find the phonemes and tricky words in the link below:

In Maths, we will continue our learning journey through White Rose and Mastering Number. The units we'll cover include: *Alive in 5*, *Mass and Capacity*, and *Growing 6, 7, 8*.

Here are additional home learning ideas. Remember you can share your amazing learning on Tapestry!
