Reception 2025 - 2026
Welcome to our Reception page
Our topic this half term is based around 'The Pirates Are Coming!' by John Condon.
We have stared our pirate journey with a treasure hunt and are now following and creating maps, singing pirate songs, writing messages in bottles, making up pirate dances and enjoying designing and making pirate ships, flags and thinking of cool pirate names! We are also enjoying watching clips from Peter Pan and will be having our very own Pirate Day for our Pebble jar treat!
The children are consolodating their knowledge of Phase 2 and 3 soundss in our phonics sessions and are now learning to read longer words. Please see the attached file below about Phase 3 sounds.
Thank you for all the reading you are doing together at home. Please continue to share a few pages each time you read with them, aiming for about 10 minutes, three times a week. This really helps to build the children's confidence.
In maths we continue to learn with The Numberblocks and will be looking at doubles by spotting when two amounts are equal and making doubles patterns using many different resources, such as pegs and blocks, as well as making butterfly paintings and patterns to show doubles.
Our PE sessions continue to be on Thursdays. Our focus this half term is Rocking and Rolling where we will be learning to rock using different parts of our bodies and will practice and perform log and egg rolls.
We will continue to do Drawing Club sessions, where the children enjoy 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.
