Reception

Welcome to Reception!

In Reception we believe in providing a safe and stimulating environment where all children can flourish. We understand that each child is unique and that children learn best when playing and learning are combined. We know that the most successful learners are happy, engaged, confident, curious, and resilient. We aim to help them become independent learners, good communicators and risk takers as well as develop their creativity and empathy. We provide a purposeful, nurturing environment which reflects our core values and the interests of our children. It allows children to develop skills for now and success in the future and offers challenges so that children are able to achieve their full potential.

If you haven't already done so, have a look at our curriculum map below for more detail on what your child will be learning during their time in Reception. This can be found under 'Useful Documents'.

Autumn Term News

This term our topic is 'Marvellous Me'. We will be looking at what makes us unique and how we keep ourselves healthy. We will also be looking at Autumn, noticing the changes that are happening around us.

We will be starting with our phonics and reading programme "Little Wandle Letters and Sounds" and will start by revising our phase 2 sounds and then move onto phase 3 sounds. There are some really helpful videos on the Little Wandle website for parents and you can find the link to the Little Wandle website at the bottom of this page. You will be able to help your child by using the same sounds that we teach them in school and there is information on the progression of sounds as well as the approach to reading. We would highly recommend that you have a look at the page and videos for parents so that you can support your child on this journey.
