📖 INDIVIDUAL READING REMINDER
We are excited to begin our Individual Reading programme this week! After spending time getting to know your children and gaining a better understanding of their reading levels, we are ready to start this exciting part of their learning journey.
On your child’s allocated reading day, we will send home their blue reading log and reading book. Please enjoy reading the book together at home and write a short comment in the reading log to share how your child found the book or any observations you may have. Please return both the reading book and reading log to school before your childs reading day in the following week.
Friendly Announcement
The phonics review book will be sent home today. You are welcome to work through it with your child at a time and pace that suits your family. This is completely optional; however, the activities can provide helpful reinforcement and support your child’s growing confidence in phonics. 📚🔤

🌱 A Growing Start to the Week! 🌱
We’ve had a fantastic start to the week in Reception E, with lots of phonics practice and some exciting hands-on learning as we planted our very own seeds! 😊💛
🔤 Early Sound Systems (ESS)
In ESS, we continued reviewing our single-letter sounds, working through the letters from s to r. 🔡🎵
For each letter, we reviewed its name, sound, associated action and vocabulary, helping the children build stronger connections between the letters and the sounds they make.
The children were very engaged throughout the lesson and particularly enjoyed learning and practising the different actions. It was lovely to see everyone joining in so enthusiastically! 👏✨
🌾 English PBL – The Little Red Hen and Our Growing Seeds
In English PBL, we returned to the beginning of The Little Red Hen, paying special attention to the part of the story where the Little Red Hen plants her wheat seeds. 🐔📖
We talked about the different steps involved in growing her wheat, from getting the seeds and planting them outside to watering them. We also discussed what plants need to live and grow, preparing the children for a very exciting activity of their own! ☀💧🌱
It was then time for the children to become little gardeners! 👩🌾👨🌾
Each child planted their own seeds, choosing from a variety of plants: corn, grass, cherry radish, purslane and strawberries. 🌽🍓
The children carefully added soil, planted their seeds and gave them a thorough watering to help them get off to a good start. They had a wonderful time getting their hands involved and learning how to care for their new plants! 💚
Over the coming weeks, the children will be responsible for watering their plants every day, helping them grow big and strong. This will be a lovely opportunity to develop their independence and sense of responsibility as they care for something of their own.
We can’t wait to watch the seeds begin to sprout and see just how much our plants have grown by the end of Unit 1: Healthy Body, Healthy Mind! 🌱📏
It’s been a great day in Reception E, and we’re looking forward to watching our little garden grow alongside the children over the coming weeks! 💚😊
Have a lovely evening, everyone! 🌈✨
亲爱的家长朋友们，大家好！🌹🌹
🌟今天我们继续探索两位数的奥秘。课堂上，我们先回顾上周所学，借助实物、数位器巩固数位概念，帮助孩子们理解：十位上的数字代表几个十，个位上的数字代表几个一。
🌟接着我们引入百数板开展探究活动。小朋友们带着问题仔细观察：每一排都有哪些数字？在观察中大家发现，同一行里，右边的数字总比左边大1；从第二行起，十位数字保持不变，个位数字依旧按照0到9依次排列。
当我们纵向观察数列，从10、20、30、40、50开始，思维的火花不断碰撞。有小朋友惊喜地发现：同一列的个位数字相同，十位数字依次增加10。👏
🌟掌握规律后，我们开启趣味数字游戏。游戏一：在百数板上圈出指定数字，先圈出5、15、25、35、45，再寻找2、12、22、32、42……孩子们借助刚刚发现的规律，快速定位数字，收获满满的成就感。
活动最后，宝贝们独立完成练习，补全50以内缺失的数字。
✨今日亲子游戏推荐：
准备1–50数字卡片，参照百数图摆放整齐。两人石头剪刀布，输的一方戴上眼罩，另一方悄悄拿走一排数字。摘下眼罩后，宝贝来猜一猜，哪些数字不见了。
在轻松的游戏里巩固数感，家长可以多鼓励孩子说一说自己发现的数字小规律哦。
今天宝贝们书包里有“中班首月启航活动”通知，请爸爸妈妈查收，然后签好回执单，放宝贝书包里，明天带给老师，谢谢哦
