W.B. 28.09.2020
We have had a lovely start to our new school year! The children have settled in brilliantly and have adapted really well to the changes in school. We are aware that from time to time some of the children will have to stay at home to keep everyone safe. For this reason, home learning will now be added for you on a weekly basis. This is to ensure that your child does not miss out on the learning going on in school. If you have any questions about the home learning, please do not hesitate to contact the Reception team by phone or e-mail. Our e-mail address is reception@mostonlane.manchester.sch.uk.
Activities and learning links will be uploaded every Monday for that week. This term we will be focussing on phonics, mark making, maths and topic activities. Some learning links will require a school login. We will ensure that you have these.
Please e-mail us pictures of fantastic work that your child does.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Rycroft and Miss Thompson

Name Writing
- Practise writing your name everyday.
Phonics
We are learning to read and write a different letter each day:
Monday - c

Watch the video on espresso about the letter.
Now tell your grown-up some words that start with today's sound. Finally have a go at writing the letter a few times.
