Welcome to Hazel Class: Year R

Mrs Maddocks is the Year R class teacher, assisted by Miss Waite

Please browse our class page to see photos of our learning and to learn more about how you can help your child at home. 
Tuesday is our PE day but please leave your PE kit in school all week as sometimes we also do PE on a Friday. 

During the first half of the autumn term our topic will be: Getting To Know You.

To help your child at home you can: 
- Count with your child to 100. 
- Ask them which number comes after another: What's one more than 17?
- Include maths into your daily routines: I have 5 oranges and 3 apples. How many do I have altogether?
- Help your child to begin forming the numbers. 
- Recognise and name shapes in your home. Show your child how to describe the shapes: It has four corners and four sides. 
- Sing counting songs. 
- Practice your child's key words with them. 
- Listen to your child read their book and record your experiences in the home learning diary. 
- Read stories together and talk about the characters, setting and plot. 
- Sing nursery rhymes and play rhyming games. 
- Help your child to form the letters and ask them which sounds the letters make.
