Well done Foundation Stage! Newsletter Reception Class 29th January 2016 Literacy During literacy this week we have been reading the story of ‘The Train Ride’ by June Crebbin. From this story we imagined that we were going on a train journey. We went into the role play corner and looked at all the different things we could see. We then did some amazing sentence writing. We all tried really hard to remember our capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. This week we have really enjoyed learning about the history of trains! We have looked at steam engines and the new modern day electric trains. We have also been looking at old and new transport, we have been discussing the differences and similarities. The children have especially enjoyed making junk models of trains and cars. They have also worked really hard this week in preparing their Worship assembly. I was so proud of everyone! Well done Foundation Stage! Phonics We have learnt the following sounds from phase 3 this week. These sounds are th,ai and ee. We have also learnt the tricky words we, be and me.
