Welcome back to Reception, we hope you had a lovely Easter break! We have lots of exciting things planned for Summer 1 as we explore the topic of 'Growing and Life-cycles' over the next six 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 Summer Term 1 in Reception!
This term we are going to be learning about 'Growing and life-cycles'. During our literacy sessions, we will be reading a number of books to help develop our literacy skills - understanding and writing sentences. We will be reading Titch, Growing Frogs and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Please continue to 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 label all their clothes with their name.
All children will need a water bottle to be kept in school, especially in the upcoming summer months.
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 2 and 3 phonics, we will learn how to blend to read and segment to spell simple words using the phase 2 and 3 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, ss
Some children will be learning phase 3 phonics: j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er
If you are unsure which sounds your child is learning, please ask their teacher so that you can practice reading/writing words including those sounds with them.
Numeracy
In Numeracy, we will be focusing on finding the total by adding two groups of objects (to 10 then 20). We will also be learning how to order objects by size, length and height and looking at symmetry and patterns.
Parents can help us practice this by completing fun games to practice these skills at home (see weekly homework sheets on Dojo).
Our Termly Topic
We will be looking at books related to the topic 'Growing and life-cycles' 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 :
