Welcome to a new school year term!  Reception class get up to many adventures.  Our curriculum means that our learning is completely child led, so the topics evolve as the children ask questions.  

Our usual day involves …

• Phonics sessions Click HERE for a link to the letters and sounds website for help and information
• Focussed teaching activities
• Free flow (where children choose their own activities and adults guide and further learning with questioning)
• Singing sessions
• Story
• ‘Squiggle while you wriggle’ ( a programme which helps develop both gross and fine motor skills where we move to music)

Spring term will start off with us looking at all things magical…

For online resources from Oxford Owl please click the logo below and sign up.  You are able to access over 250 ‘ebooks’ to read with your child.  This includes activities based around each book.

Our targets are being able to recognise our own names, and to write it independently.  We are practising letter formation in a number of ways including ‘squiggle while you wiggle’. We are working all the time on extending the amount we can write and using our phonic knowledge to help.  Keep an eye on Twitter for photos. Being able to dress and undress ourselves is also really helpful, and makes PE and our weekly Friday walk much easier.
