• Home learning

Hello and welcome to Reception's class page!

Our curriculum has been carefully designed, planned and organised to ensure breadth, balance and depth for each child. We recognise our children’s backgrounds, life and cultural experiences and have used this information to help us to design a curriculum that meets their needs and prepares them effectively for the next stage in their education.

EYFS Curriculum

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is built around four principles:

• A Unique Child

• Positive Relationships

• Enabling Environments

• Children Learn and Develop in different ways and at different Rates

In terms of Learning and Development, there are seven areas.

The three prime areas are:

• Communication and Langauge

• Physical Development

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development

There are also four specific areas through which the three prime areas are strenghtened and applied. These are:

• Literacy

• Mathematics

• Understanding of the World

• Expressive Arts and Design

During Autumn Term, we will be focusing on The Gingerbread Man. We will be working hard to develop our fine motor skills and will be completing lots of cutting, threading and 'Funky Fingers' activities. We will learn all Set 1 sounds and practice blending these, ready to read. We are focusing on Matching, Patterns and Counting in Maths. 

We use Class Dojo to send updates and announcements. We send a Home Task book home each Friday with a fun activity to complete together, linked to the learning that we have been focusing on during the week. 

We cannot wait to work with you and your children on their Learning Journey :)
