Reception
Welcome to Reception Class!
The adults in the room are:
Miss Fletcher, Miss Joles, Mrs Causon-Butler.
We have had the best time settling the children in to their new Reception class. We have been working on listening skills, making friends, following routines and exploring learning opportunities inside and outside.
Within the Reception curriculum there are seven areas of learning. These are:
- Maths
- Literacy
- Understanding the world
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Expressive arts
- Physical development
- Communication and language
How do we support these areas of learning in play? These photos demonstrate the children busy in play, learning so much as they explore their classroom...
How can you help at home?
- Reading books at least once a day. This can just be enjoying a book and looking at the pictures, not always reading the whole thing
- Pointing out words in the environment
- Sounding out words, such as; can you see the c-a-t?
- Singing nursery rhymes e.g. 1,2,3,4,5 once I caught a fish alive
- Counting EVERYTHING! Socks, sweets, birds, cars etc
- Writing your child's name with them
- Allowing your child to help with tasks such as baking, cooking
- Playing games such as I spy
