🌟 A Lovely End to the Week! 🌟
We’ve had a wonderful Friday in Reception E, finishing the week with some phonics, creativity and lots of opportunities to practise our cutting skills! 💛😊
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS, we began by reviewing our single-letter sounds using the phonics song we have been practising together. 🎵🔡 The children are becoming increasingly familiar with the sounds and are growing more confident each time we sing!
We then got creative by making our very own alphabet animals! 🐻🐱🎨 The children carefully cut out the different pieces of their animals and letters before putting them together and decorating their creations.
This was a lovely opportunity to practise our scissor control and fine-motor skills, encouraging the children to take their time and cut carefully. ✂👏 Everyone enjoyed bringing their alphabet animals to life!
📁 Important Reminder – Review Work
Today, we are sending home our first set of review work! You will find it inside the review work folder in your child’s school bag. 📝🎒
Please take the work out of the folder and return the empty folder to school on Monday, ready for us to use again next time.
Thank you for your cooperation and support! 💛
🌈 Have a Wonderful Weekend!
It’s been a lovely end to another week in Reception E. The children have worked hard, had lots of fun and continued to develop their confidence and independence.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and we look forward to seeing everyone again on Monday! ☀😊
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好！🌹🌹
🌟今天的PBL项目课上，小朋友们一起探究、对比了健康食品与不健康食品的不同。在探索中，大家有了有趣的发现：健康的食物大多容易变质，保鲜时间较短；而一些不健康的加工食品，颜色格外鲜艳，比如糖果里添加了色素。还有很多加工食品可以存放很久，是因为里面含有添加剂，用来延缓食物变质。
🌟通过讨论，小朋友们慢慢懂得，不要随意吃不健康的零食、不喝彩色饮料，白开水才是最好的饮品；少吃糖果，多吃新鲜水果。孩子们在活动中萌发了健康饮食的意识，还在班级里轮流宣讲自己喜爱的健康食物，宝贝们还说，回家也要把健康饮食的小知识分享给爸爸妈妈。
🌟充实丰富的一周结束啦。小朋友们会带回本周作业包，请爸爸妈妈挑选合适的时间陪伴小朋友完成。另外附上本周分级阅读电子版绘本，亲子共读时，可以让宝贝试着读一读，他们都特别棒。
🌟中班的学习旅程才刚刚启程，小朋友在完成作业时，爸爸妈妈多给我们宝贝鼓励与肯定。如果爸爸妈妈发现小朋友在学习方面有需要沟通的情况，欢迎大家在我们的家庭群留言，我们家园携手，一同陪伴孩子成长。
Good afternoon,
I wanted to share some feedback on how Eli has been getting on in English and how we can continue supporting his development.
Eli has adapted very well to Reception E and is gradually becoming more comfortable with his teachers and classmates. We are beginning to see more of his personality coming through, and it has been lovely to watch him enjoying playtime with Aron and Elon.
In English, Eli has a good foundation in phonics. He recognises most of the Phase 2 sounds and can blend many simple words confidently. He has also shown good reading fluency during our activities.
His handwriting is developing, and he was able to make a recognisable attempt at writing the word “cat” during our writing activity. Our next focus will be strengthening his letter formation, developing his recognition of common words and helping him extend his writing beyond single words.
Home support: Please begin by checking Eli’s recognition of the words “the”, “to”, “I”, “go”, “no” and “into”. Practise the words that he finds difficult, showing him the words and then asking him to recognise them again without help.
For writing, encourage Eli to practise forming the letters in simple words such as “cat”, “dog” and “sun”. Show him how to form each letter correctly, then hide the word and ask him to write it by listening to the sounds.
Once he can do this comfortably, encourage him to use one of these words in a simple sentence, such as “A cat sat.”
Eli has made a really positive start, and I am looking forward to seeing his confidence and independence continue to develop! 🌹
