Welcome back to Reception, we hope you had a lovely half term break! We have lots of exciting things planned for Autumn 2 as we explore the topic of 'Traditional Tales' 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 2 in Reception!
This term we are going to be learning about 'Traditional Tales'. During our literacy sessions, we will be reading a number of familiar books to help develop our literacy skills. We will be reading Goldilocks and The Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. For the last couple of weeks of term, our learning environment will be focused on Christmas.
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.
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 phonics.
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.
When the children are ready, we will begin to send home words including the sounds that your child has been learning in school. Please support your child reading these words daily and put a tick next to the word when they are able to read it. Please also do the same for writing the word. Once each word has 3 ticks, your child will be given a new set of words. Please tick only when your child has read the word, as we only want to move on when they are confident with the given set of words.
Numeracy
In Numeracy, we will be focusing on subitising (recognising without counting) amounts to 3, exploring numbers 5, recognising shapes, positional language and time.
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 'Traditional Tales' 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!
