Welcome to our Reception page

Our topic this half term is based on the non-fiction book 'Festivals' It follows on from our learning about Diwali and covers many different types of festivals and celebrations around the world.  

This story also gives us opportunities to link with our No Outsiders theme;all different,all welcome.        

The children are now learning the next set of letters and sounds in our phonics lessons. They will be bringing a reading book home to share with you and we ask that you share a few pages each time you read with them, aiming for three times a week if possible. This really helps to build the children's confidence.

In maths we continue to learn with The Numberblocks and will be looking at different arragements of numbers within 5, comparing sets of objects and continuing to develop our counting skills.

Our PE sessions will be on Thursdays and will take place in the hall. We will be using the apparatus to focus on balancing, jumping off and landing safely and on co-ordination and control. 

We have begun our Drawing Club sessions and the children are enjoying making up funny, silly, scary and revolting things to enhance characters, story settings and adventures. It is really helping with their writing, drawing and mark making skills too.
