Welcome to Reception
This term in Reception!
This term, we are settling into Reception, getting to know our new friends and teachers and learning all about what makes us special. We will talk about our families, pets, likes and dislikes and learn how to be kind, caring and respectful towards others.
We will be learning about school routines and independence, including looking after ourselves, making choices and taking care of our classroom and resources.
Through stories, songs, rhymes and daily conversations, we will develop our listening, attention, speaking and vocabulary skills. We will enjoy a range of stories and begin to retell and act them out through our play.
In maths, we will explore counting, numbers to 5, subitising, comparing quantities and repeating patterns.
We will also explore our school and local environment, talk about our families and communities and notice the changes that Autumn brings.
Through art, music, dance and imaginative play, we will have lots of opportunities to create, explore and express ourselves.
Alongside this, we will develop our gross and fine motor skills, building strength, coordination and confidence as we learn to use pencils, scissors and other tools.
We will also continue to support communication and language through our SHREC and WellComm approaches.
We are looking forward to a wonderful start to our Reception journey!
Don’t forget:
- Read and sign your child’s reading record every night.
- Reading books will be changed on Thursday to go home on Friday.
Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to a fun-filled final half term together!
