Welcome to Reception!

Dear Parents / Carers,

 

The children are settling in well and are getting used to our daily routines.

We had our first Little Wandle Phonics session today! Please practise the weekly sounds and have a look at the attached pronunciation guide. In addition to this, please remember to read with your child every day and use the reading diaries to write any comments.

In maths, we are focusing on numbers 1-10 and are singing counting rhymes like ‘Five Currant Buns’

Please see the attached Meet the Teacher PowerPoint from the other week and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to us!

From Ms Begum and Mr Crick

Regulating Emotions

Many children often need help with calming down from strong emotions. When children need help to calm down, help them to notice the emotion, name it, and pause.  Once they have calmed down, you can address their behaviour or problem-solve.  Learning to calm down is an important part of learning to understand and manage emotions.

These useful prompts, can help to support a child to regulate their emotions.
