Welcome to our Reception page

Our topic this half term is based on the traditional tale of The Three Little Pigs. 

We will be talking about different types of houses and homes, using a range of materials to design and build structures, learning facts about pigs, creating art work with sticks, straw, material and creating patterns with variou reources for printing. 

We continue to enjoy plenty of other activities to support our handwriting development such as threading, chalking and pegging, running, climbing and chasing. We will be working with different apparatus in the hall during our PE sessions every Thursday, where we will be able to work on core strength, balance, control and coordination.

The children will be visiting the library each half term with their buddies and our first session will be on Wednesday 11th November. The children will have the opportunity to share books with their friends and their buddies and to listen to a story read by one of the librarians. It will be a lovely experience for us all.

In maths this half term we will continue to develop their ubitising and counting skills and explore the composition of numbers within and beyond 5. They will also look at where sets are equal and not equal and begin to link two equal groups with the concept of doubles.

We continue with Phase 2 phonics teaching and will be learning some new digraphs, where two letters make one sound. 

Thank you for all your support in reading at home with your child. It makes such a difference to their confidence as well as their ability.

The parent page on the Little Wandle website has lots of useful information about our phonics programme:
