Please look at our Long Term Plan below to find out what your child will be learning during their time in Reception. The themes and ideas are starting points for the children’s learning. Where possible, we will plan activities based on the children’s interests and in response to our assessments and observations.
Year Long Plan
Termly Overview:
Our topics for Autumn Term are 'All About Me and Celebrations.
In Literacy we will be focussing on the books The Something by Rebecca Cobb and Juniper Jupiter by Lizzie Stewart as well as reading other stories for pleasure such as The Tiger Who Came to Tea, So Much, Peace at Last.
In Maths we follow the White Rose scheme.
In phonics we are following the Essesntial Letters and Sounds Teaching programme.
Your child will bring home a reading book weekly that is matched to the phonic sounds taught in class that week. Please listen to your child read their book 4 times a week and write in their reading diary when they have read to you. When we change their book, we will award a sticker for every time they have read at home to put on their bookmark. When they have a full bookmark, they will be awarded a certificate for super reading.
