Welcome to Reception, we hope you had a lovely Summer break! We have lots of exciting things planned for Autumn 1 as we explore the topic of 'Ourselves' 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 on our Long Term Plan.

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.

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: https://www.foundationyears.org.uk/eyfs-statutory-framework/

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!

 Welcome to Autumn 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 develop our listening and comprehension skills. We will be reading Colour Monster, Peace at Last and Funny Bones.
