What we will be learning in Reception

In Autumn 1 our topic is 'Magnificent Me'. We will be settling the children into school and learning the routines of the day. We will also be exploring friendships and what it means to be a good friend. The children will also be sharing who lives in their families and the different job roles that key people in their lives do. They will also begin to think about what they would like to do when they're older. 

The core books we will be looking at our:

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

- Matching, sorting and comparing

- Measurement (weight, height, capacity)

- Pattern

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 child has 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.
