Reception: Spring A – Once Upon a Time
Literacy
During the next three weeks Reception will be reading stories about dragons. We will read ‘There is no dragon in this story’ by Lou Carter and Deborah Allwright. The dragon wants to be in the story but he bumps into other fairytale characters who tell him that they don’t need a dragon in their story!
We will also read ‘Zog’ by Julia Donaldson. Zog isn’t good at anything, so how will he rescue the princess?
Maths
In Maths we will learn to recognise numbers to 10. We will practise saying numbers in order and learn to count ten objects. You can help your child at home by practising counting ten things. You can look for numbers on buses, doors or signs and help your child to name them.
Personal, Social & Emotional Development
In PSED we will be learning about all kinds of families.
We will also talk about things we are good at.
