Welcome to Reception, we hope you had a lovely summer break! We are very excited to introduce the children to their new class and friends. We have lots of exciting things planned for Autumn 1 as we explore the topic of 'ourselves' over the next seven weeks.
In the early years foundation stage (EYFS), we study the same topics throughout the year in order to deepen the children's knowledge and understanding. However, the weekly planning will be differentiated appropriately to meet the needs of all children for each year group. Below is a list of our class topics for the year. Have a look and see what your child will be learning during each term this year:
Autumn 2 - Traditional Tales
Spring 1 - Changes
Spring 2 - Stories from Around the World
Summer 1 - Growing and Life-cycles

Welcome to Autumn Term 1 in Reception!
This term we are going to be learning about 'ourselves'. During our literacy sessions, we will be reading a number of books to help learn all about our body, how to manage our feelings and our family and our local community. Once we have settled into our new setting, we will start by reading 'Funnybones' to help us learn about the different parts of our body. We will then move on to read books to help us learn about the environment and the people around us.
This term we will be learning how to explore our new classroom and engage with our learning. Please help your child to be independent by ensuring they can get changed, feed and toilet themselves. Each child will need a bag of spare clothes and their PE kits on their peg, to be kept in school. They will be sent home half termly to be washed.
Please ensure your child brings a water bottle to school, labelled with their name. This can be kept in school each half term.
Reading - Please can you read with your child for at least 5 minutes a day and write in their reading diary weekly.
Phonics, Phonics, Phonics!!
In phonics, alongside continuing to develop our phase 1 phonics, we will be beginning to learn some sounds in phase 2.
We will learn how to blend to read and segment to spell simple words using the phase 2 sounds.
The sounds we will be focusing on in Phase 2 are; s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll and ss.
In the first few weeks we will send children home with a library book. This book is to be enjoyed at home – the children are not expected to read the words, but they can practise telling the story using the pictures in the book. The children will be able to change this book weekly.
Numeracy
In Numeracy, we will be focusing on matching and sorting objects, comparing quantities, exploring patterns and comparing size, weight and capacity.
Parents can help us by completing fun games to practise these skills at home- we will send out some ideas on Dojo each week, once the children have settled.
Our Termly Topic
We will be looking at books related to the topic 'ourselves' this half term, we will be focusing our literacy and creative work around these stories.
The EYFS Framework
Throughout Nursery and Reception, we deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile. We use this to teach each child, considering their level of development and any additional needs. A copy of this can be viewed here :

Staff are always on hand to discuss your child’s development and give advice or practical support on how to encourage learning at home as well as at school! We are happy to help!
