Welcome to Year R:  

 

Welcome to the second half of Spring Term! 

Welcome to year R! We hope you find the information below useful as your child continues their learning journey with us! This information will help you support your child at home with the organisation of their week and their learning at home. 

Tiger class is taught by Miss Riani. Lion class is taught by Miss Abdishakur, the Reception classes are supported by Ms Stagg, Ms Mariam and Mrs Tadman.  

 

Key Times 

Homework 

Children will be given Read Write Inc books to read or links to videos to watch. Please have a look at your child’s plastic wallet which will contain all the information needed. You will need to bring the plastic wallets back every day.   

Please ensure you are reading with your child every night as this is crucial for the development of their literacy skills. Families are able to loan books from the library trolley located just inside the Reception Area by the gate.  

PE  

In year R, the PE day is Wednesday. Please ensure that your child has their PE kit on these days. Please ensure you REMOVE all earrings on a Thursday. Please ensure ALL PE kits are named.

Key Times 

In EYFS, children will start at 8:30am and will be dismissed at the end of the day at 3:30pm.   

 

 

 

What are we learning?  

The children will be learning to listen to others and respond by making relevant comments. They will ask and answer questions and use new vocabulary when speaking in extended sentences.  In literacy, the children will be writing instructions, fact files, descriptions and retelling familiar stories. They will be writing sentences which are phonetically plausible, using capital letters and full stops. 

In Maths, the children will be building numbers 9 and 10.  They will compare numbers to 10 as well as learning their number bonds to 10. The children will also explore 3D shapes, pattern and time. 

The children will be developing and refining their batting and aiming skills. They will learn to jump off an object and land safely. The children will also learn to use a range of small tools with greater proficiency.  

The children will identify things they find challenging. They will explore the importance of resilience; they will set personal goals and they will think about their hopes and dreams for the future. 

The children will talk about past and present events in their lives. They will ask ‘why’ and ‘how’ questions about the natural world. The children will learn about the importance of showing care for living things and the natural environment.  They will use technological devices to draw pictures and create content. 

The children will be drawing representations of people & objects.  They will learn to design for a purpose. They will explore ways to adapt well known narratives, stories and songs, and they will learn to copy and continue a simple beat using instruments. 

 

How can I help at home? 

One of the key ways every parent can help is to ensure that your child is at school every day and on time. Other than this, the main way you can help is by ensuring that your child reads every day, for at least 10 minutes with you. This is the most effective way of ensuring that your child progresses across the EYFS curriculum. If your child is not yet able to read, please read to them. 

 

Additional Information  

In Reception, we are keen explorers and spend lots of time outdoors. We will go out in all weathers! As the weather gets colder and wetter, please ensure your child is in school with a waterproof coat. We ask all children to keep a pair of wellington boots at school to use throughout the year. Please ensure all of your child’s belongings have their name in/on them.  

If you have any questions, please talk to Miss Riani or Miss Abdishakur.   

 

Thank you,   

 

The Reception Team.
