What we will be learning in Reception

In Summer 1 our topic is 'Glorious Growing'. During this topic we will be exploring what happens on a farm, including the animals you might find and the foods that are grown. We will be exploring foods that are grown in the United Kingdom and foods that are grown in other countries, we will have the opportunity to taste some of these different fruits. We will also be exploring minibeasts, looking at the different types of habitats that you may find them in. We will look at how minibeasts are beneficial for our planet and begin to think about how we can support these creatures.

We follow the White Rose Maths scheme. Over this half term we will be exploring:

Home Learning

We expect children to read a minimum of 3 times a week; this should be logged on boom reader. If you need support with boom reader, please speak to a member of staff. 

In Early Years, we use Tapestry, this is a Learning Journal where you will be able to see what your children have been up to at school. We encourage you to contribute to your child's learning journal, we love the opportunity to see what the children have been up to at home and share this with the class. From time to time, we will upload 'Champion Challenges' for your child, these relate to your child's next steps in their learning.
